The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has recommended the world to complete digital television transition by 2015. With success in completion of transition from analogue to digital TV at the end of 2012, Korea aims to share its know-how and firsthand experiences on cost and timesaving strategies with other countries by establishing a cooperative network with international broadcasting organisations such as Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development (AIBD) and ITU. Besides, Korea plans to help these countries to reduce their burdens in completely replacing the existing analogue broadcasting equipment with digital ones.

AIBD members among those designated by the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) are encouraged to fill the pre-survey (click here) giving their feedback regarding the programme and how it may serve their developmental needs, as well as offer an avenue for future collaboration with South Korea.

Please return the completed survey by 31 March 2014 to Mr. Saqib Sheikh, Programme Manager, AIBD at [email protected].
