DTT Tender starts today

It is a big day for Turkish Television Market. Today, first digital terrestrial television license tender will be made. Results of this tender will have great impact on the TV market. There are 15 broadcasters in today's tender for HD general national license. However there are just 8 license. Thus price for one license is expected to get higher then the minimum, which is 3000000 TL.

I will write on the results as soon as it is announced. One interesting development is that there are just few comments about the tender in Turkish newspapers and columnists. I think that this silence is meaningful. To make a comment on this silence I want to wait a little and see the comments after the tender.

According to some sector professional Turkey should not even think of HD Radio™ as an alternative for the digitization of radio. I have some doubts on that. Lets have a closer look at HD Radio™ : Who is behind the HD Radio™ ? IBiquity Digital is the firm that developed the HD Radio™ technology. Some argues that as it is a firm, not a consortium, so broadcasters should avoid choosing HD Radio™ as the digital radio technology. It sounds a little bit ambiguous. Why should broadcasters avoid using it? Do they avoid using Windows, for their PCs? Well, it is the same actually. Microsoft is a firm, that has a product, and broadcasters, like many others are using it. So, Ibiquity Digital is a firm like Microsoft.
