Election may bring changes


The election of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) this November is expected to bring a few changes in the media sector. One of these is reported to be a firm date for the Australian analogue switch off, which is now expected to be set at 31st December 2013.
Another expected change is that the activities of ‘Digital Australia’, which was set up to help push the digital transition, will be taken over by the Department of Communications.
