    Armenia to switch to digital TV, radio by 2015 - minister

    YEREVAN Nov 12


    Armenia will switch to digital television and radio broadcasting by
    2015, Economy Minister Nerses Yeritsian said at a news briefing on
    Thursday.

    The Armenian government endorsed a concept of transition to digital
    television and radio broadcasting on Thursday.

    The country will need about $200 million for completing the transition
    to digital television and radio broadcasting, Yeritsian said.

    Part of this money will be invested by the government, and the rest
    should be provided by donor countries and international organizations,
    he said.

    Public debates on the transition to digital TV and radio broadcasting
    should be arranged by the end of 2009. Amendments to the law should be
    passed and a technical plan and licensing terms should be developed by
    summer 2010, he said.
