UK switch-over timetable confirmed
Tessa Jowell, the UK Secretary for Culture, confirmed the previously proposed switch-over timetable in her key-note speech at the Royal Television Society(RTS) convention in Cambridge last week.
Jowell said that a support scheme funded from the UK licence income would provide digital equipment for households with one person over 75 or over, or households with one person having significant disability.
The switchover will be co-ordinated by Digital UK (DigitalUK.co.uk) , the industry-funded body formerly known as SwitchCo.
