Security for digital migration R2.45bn to help poor pay for TV

Johannesburg - A meeting between Thabo Mbeki and international advisers on information and communications technology in Hoedspruit, Limpopo was underway on Saturday, reported SABC news.

Issues to be discussed at the Presidential International Advisory Council on Information Society and Development (PAIC on ISAD) include South Africa's move from analog to digital broadcasting.

The news station said SABC's readiness to broadcast the 2010 soccer world cup would also be discussed.

SABC news said the progress South Africa has made regarding the provision of ICT to South Africans, especially those in rural areas, was also on the agenda.

Next month South Africa will begin the migration from analog to digital broadcasting, a process expected to be completed in 2011.

This weekend's meeting will be the last PIAC meeting to take place under the current administration.

A media briefing will take place at the conclusion of the meeting on Sunday.
