Mexico to go digital by 2015
Mexico will change from analog to digital television by 2015 to promote competition and help convergence with telephone and Internet services, President Felipe Calderon said Thursday. The move, introduced by presidential decree, would begin next year. Calderon did not say which type of digital television service would be used in the country of some 110 million - the top Spanish-speaking market. Brazil has led the adoption of digital television in Latin America with a Japanese system, followed by Nicaragua, Ecuador and Bolivia. Mexico receives major international channels by satellite and cable while the national market is dominated by private networks Televisa - the number one Spanish-speaking media group - followed by TV Azteca.
