Regional body blasts Botswana for choosing Japan digital migration

This comes after the announcement that the Botswana government has opted to adopt the technology developed by Brazil and Japan over the European platform DVB-T2, which has been adopted by a number of southern African countries including South Africa.

A statement from the South African based SADIBA says independent research done at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa in 2010 assessed the features of DTT technologies. They concluded; "results indicated that DVB-T slightly outperforms the Brazil japan tplatform( ISDB-T). The latest DVB-T2 system is, however, far more superior."
