Costa Rica. That will be the estimated year for Costa Rican television to completely change its analog signal for digital. The president of Costa Rica, Laura Chinchilla, signed two decrees aimed at regulating this process, which will use the Japanese-Brazilian format.
The first of the decrees is to create a national commission to propose the mechanisms and processes, norms and public policies in the technical, economic and social fields, during this transition; and the second, establishes the technical rules that open television companies must follow to make the leap to digital television.
Costa Rica adopted the Japanese-Brazilian model through a specialized commission that chose it between the American and European formats, this was in 2010 before Chinchilla became president, "this technological advance will reach all Costa Ricans for free through the open signal," the presidency said in a statement.
