Limited DTT service in Lithuania


Lithuania’s telecom provider TEO LT has launched a DTT service in Vilnius according to an item on the Broadband TV News website.
The new platform uses MPEG-4 and provides access to three commercial programme services at present and these services are likely to cover 95% of the country by 2009.
TEO LT owned by TeliaSonera was granted licenses to operate four multiplexes in Vilnius, during October 2005 by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA).
In October RTK also awarded broadcasting licences on the DTT platform to Baltijos TV, Tele-3 and TV1 as well as the public services broadcaster.
