Introduction

In the planning area that is defined in ‘resolves 1’ of Resolution 1185 Rev, the bands 174-230 MHz and 470-862 MHz will be planned for digital terrestrial broadcasting while providing adequate protection to existing/planned analog broadcasting stations and primary services sharing these bands in conformity with the Radio Regulations.

The worldwide tendency towards the digitalization of broadcasting such as the post-production, transmission, and the constant development of digital technology, reinforces a well-shared conviction that the advent of a all-digital terrestrial broadcasting is a certainty.

However, the change of this analogue environment to an all-digital environment passes through a difficult and complex transition period in terms of the time necessary for this change and the behaviour of the consumers.  This will require simultaneous broadcasting in both analogue and digital systems (simulcast broadcasting) for several years.  Therefore the transition will cost more money and more frequency bandwidth.

Each country can decide future use of these frequency bands for establishing digital broadcasting.  The Conference creates an opportunity of harmonizing to maximum extent the future use of these frequency bands, to carry out this transition smoothly and to lower cost, and to safeguard the evolution of digital broadcasting.

The following draft African Common Proposals (AFCPs) are based on the ITU-R Report of Doc 3 of the Conference documents for the first session of the RRC. In order to avoid lengthy papers it is proposed to make references to the mentioned part of the Report when appropriate. The presentation of the AFCPs is based on the ITU Administrative Circular #132 of 28/11/2003 as follows...

  • The AFCPs are structured in accordance with the Agenda of the Conference contained in Resolution 1185 Rev of the ITU Administrative Council.

  • AFCPs are also grouped in chapters of ITU-R Report to the first session of RRC i.e Doc 3.
