Companies are facing economic difficulties: important investments vs. lack of new revenues. The DTV market is fragmented. The launch of contents and applications with added value has been dalayed. (90’s forescast failed) Consumers: Do not find real incentives for digital. There is not a global solution. Public intervention? Incentive the sector / guarantee pluralism and free cometition.

Digital Television and European Enlargement – Atiner 2004 Roberto Suárez – Universitat Pompeu Fabra A concept to be assumed is that services are the key to generate an effective demand in the Digital Television Market. The main risk of the current migration process to Digital Television is that it is being done following a “technological push” dynamic instead of a “consumer pull” strategy.
