DTT to provide opportunity to restructure SA's ICT

The implementation of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) will provide great potential to restructure South Africa's Information Communication and Technology (ICT) infrastructure as set out by the National Development Plan (NDP), says Communications Minister Faith Muthambi.Speaking at the Vhembe Communicators Conference at the University of Venda in Thohoyandou, Limpopo, on Monday, the Minister said the NDP infrastructure development agenda calls for efficient information infrastructure that promotes economic growth and greater inclusion that require a stronger broadband and telecommunications network that is affordable to all.

"South Africa does not have a choice but to create sustainable economies with broadcasting services as key contributors.

"During and after the implementation process of digital migration, South Africa should have good stories to tell about the commitment made in capacity building and skills development in the field of broadcasting content and other related economic agendas," Minister Muthambi said.
