The European Commission approved the provision of decoders for Digital Terrestrial TV on socially disadvantaged Bulgarians.
The European Commission announced that it has approved the proposed by the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications (MTITC) measure to provide decoders for socially disadvantaged Bulgarians on the transition from analogue to Digital Terrestrial TV.
The position of the European Commission provides green light to the supply of decoding devices for people with special social needs against vouchers. This would allow contracts with companies that were selected to provide the decoders for digital signal to about 124,000 socially disadvantaged Bulgarians. The procedure includes the provision of a voucher, which will allow the purchase of the decoder.
