Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has confirmed Australia’s plans to complete its switch to digital TV by the end of 2013.
He said that at present 40% of Australians access digital television services.
To increase and promote the consumer switch to digital television the government has created a new task force, made up of television networks, broadcasters, content makers and manufacturers.
In addition the government has re-packaged and confirmed the allocation of $38 million (Australian) to assist with the digital switchover.
