Isabel Guerra
Enrique Cornejo, Minister of Transport and Communications, had announced a few days ago that the standard for digital television Peru will adopt is the Japanese-Brazilian.
Regarding to this matter, Cesar Gallegos, expert in the standard mentioned above, declared to local radio that the complete digital switchover in Peru will take time, but foresees that very soon we will be able to watch TV in our cell phones, since stations might start digital broadcasting next year.
He also answered the audience's phone calls and said that there's no need to hurry in buying new TV sets, since analog and digital TV will coexist for a long time.
Furthermore, Jorge Cuba, Deputy Minister, said to local newspapers that the Minister of Transport and Communications will decide soon if the decoders will be subsidized or not, because estimations show that Peruvian families will spend about S/.400.6 millones (US $ 133.3 millions) in buying decoders and TV sets.
Complete analog switchoff in Peru is scheduled for 2023.
