You might still have sufficient time to prepare for the digital migration. The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) now wants the deadline for switching analogue TV broadcasting to digital signals, pushed to October 31 this year.
This will come after Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek) filed a case under certificate of urgency seeking orders to prevent the government from effecting the 31st December 2012 deadline to switch off analogue signal in Nairobi and its environs. The case was filed by the Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek) in December last year seeking to block the government’s intention to switch off the analogue signal in Nairobi before the global deadline set for June 2015.
As published on the Federation's site, Justice Isaac Lenaola said the digital migration if effected immediately would be unfair to Kenyans, who are keen to follow the General Election on TV. Justice Lenaloa urged the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) and Cofek to agree to an amicable deadline preferably after the March 4 voting.
In its suit, Cofek claimed that the consumers and the general public’s right to information would be severely infringed because the price of the machines required to convert the digital signal to a format compatible with the analogue TV sets remains prohibitive.
COFEK says that they still do not understand the reasoning behind the rush to switch off the analogue signal as early as 2012 when the deadline is 2015.
Okay.
