"The sector seeks to safeguard an adequate transition to digital terrestrial television, which is why it has modified the deadlines for transmission, with the aim of continuing its implementation progressively in all localities. The most important thing for us is that the population is informed and learns to use the benefit they already have available, "said the general director of Authorizations in Telecommunications, Miguel Hilario.
