The roadmap for transition from analogue to digital terrestrial television broadcasting in Sri Lanka covers the short term digital switch-over (DSO) and long term DSO objectives and the activities managed by the NRT. However, this report does not include: 1) The introduction of Mobile TV, because frequency channel in UHF band is exhausted by current TV broadcasting services. Nevertheless, mobile TV remains a long term DSO objective and b) The introduction of digital radio. In this case, digital radio remains a long term DSO objective and will be reviewed once the analogue switch-off (ASO) has been completed. The Sri Lanka television market is characterized by a great number of national and commercial TV services and a wide choice of TV platforms (analogue and digital cable, satellite TV, IPTV). The TV market in Sri Lanka is mainly a free-to-air terrestrial TV market with a total of 23 TV licence holders. Sixteen broadcasters are currently in operation. The aim of the roadmap is reflected in the DSO objectives.
