An important amendment was chosen by the Special Commission of the draft of the Broadcasting Act to establish the calendar of the passage of the airwaves to all digital. A revolution without precedent since the explosion of the FM band in 1982.
Logically, the shift to digital will initially concern terminals. Three steps are planned. The first concerns the positions of radio equipped with a display screen and sold in trade: they shall all be equipped with a tuner Digital at a cost of 30-50 euros today to September 1, 2010. Two years later, in September 2012, all other devices to receive the radio (portable, mobile phones, GPS...) must in turn go digital. Finally, in 2013, this obligation will extend to terminals fitted to motor vehicles. A first schedule that meets the radio. "We are in a specific calendar." "If that 100 of the French is equipped with a day, must be that all equipment sold become compatible", said the representative of one of them.
Same satisfaction within the CSA. "Which specifies the timing of the terrestrial digital radio is good to take, to condition however of having visibility on frequency resources", said Rachid Arhab, the CSA Counsellor in charge of digital radio. However, this calendar is not not worry about the concerned industrial. "Is imposed on manufacturers of devices to digital radio while there is not yet the outcome of the tender on the candidates to digital radio, nor the coverage calendar", said Pascal Chevallier, Associate General Deputy to the digital.
According to the consumer electronics industry, has sold 3.5 million radios (mobile, radio cassette and radio alarm clock) year France last. This add radio stations installed in the cars, which accounted for 3.3 million units in 2007. On average, a French home owns six radio stations.
358 files for entries
In the first call for applications for digital radio, the CSA received 358 files. It concerns 19 geographic areas in total representing 30 of the French population with cities such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, etc. A second call for applications should be launched by the end of 2009. The amendment adopted by special commission also stipulates that, before March 31, 2009, the CSA "publishes the calendar of calls for nominations to come, and the list of associated zones, to allow the deployment of digital radio in the metropolitan territory services". But, in doing so, the CSA application visibility on the pattern of the extinction of the analogue radio, which is not yet the case. Digital radios must recover the band III, currently used by Canal for its analog broadcast. The string must release it in December 2010, but this schedule is still uncertain.
For now, nobody is is to discuss a timetable for the extinction of the analog radio, as long as this mode of dissemination has not become reality. "For television, it has set a timetable for the extinction of the analog once insured the success of the TNT", noted one observer.
If the major audiovisual groups are very motivated to digital radio, small radios do not hide their concern. "It seems inadequate to vote for such amendments in the Bill audiovisual, centered on the world of television." "We would prefer legislation dedicated to digital radio of the future next year", explains Philippe Gault, President of the interprofessional Union of radio and independent television (Sirti).
