The former director of France Culture David Kessler called for a moratorium "of 2 or 3 years" on the rapid deployment of digital terrestrial radio (DAB), as well as local experiments in a report to Prime Minister Francois Fillon. Mr. Kessler had been charged in June 2010 to conduct a mission on the launch of the NTS, recorded in the 2007 law on modernization of audiovisual broadcasting but no date has been set.
In its report submitted to Mr. Fillon, a former adviser to the culture of Lionel Jospin calls for "an alternative to rapid deployment and scale of the NTS in the form of a moratorium, even a scale experimentation locale, Matignon said Wednesday in a statement. "After hearing all stakeholders (public radio, representatives of private radio stations in all categories, broadcast operators, equipment manufacturers, automakers, etc..) David Kessler said that all the conditions are not met an economic point of view to enable the widespread deployment of digital terrestrial radio, "adds Matignon.
"A moratorium of 2 or 3 years is proposed, during which would set up an observatory on foreign experiences, the issue of broadcasting standards and other forms of digital media radio," continued the services of the first Minister. "This observatory, under the auspices of the High Council of Audiovisual (CSA) should bring together the main organizations of the radios, representatives of manufacturers, broadcasters and governments concerned," the statement said.
As for the transition to DTT, the generalization of the NTS would require the replacement of all equipment received. However, this technology allows to significantly improve the sound quality, and free up frequencies. Being deployed in the United States or by Allemang, the NTS has encountered in France, the opposition of most major industry players (RTL, Europe 1, and the group NRJ Group NextRadioTV) which highlight the investment that they would perform as a barrier to the deployment of this technology.
The first tests scheduled for December 2009 are no longer on the agenda.
