2-3 NOVEMBER 2011, Hanoi, Vietnam

Asia is in the process of doing the switch! Digital TV standardisation and the application and distribution of digital communication in many of its countries have been evolving.

Vietnam, in particular, is going to phase out analog and going for digitalisation from now till 2020 and is estimated to cost U$231 million for its four phases of process and transition. Like its neighboring countries in Asia, the digital switch in this country is quickly moving from a strategic side project at many networks to a core capability.

However, to easily integrate all the digital processes, there are several issues that need to be addressed:

• How ready is the broadcast industry in Vietnam?
• What are the guidelines in coordinating the switchover process?
• What are the synchronisation of the switchover/turn-off and spectrum re-farming processes?
• What can be the combined actions and roles of industry players and government during the switchover?
• What could be the impact on markets and on spectrum management?
• What does this mean for consumer electronics manufacturers and retailers, broadcasters and consumers?
• How should new players and business models be addressed?
