Sweden - RTVV opens tender for broadcast services on DTT platform

The Swedish Radio and Television Authority (RTVV) is inviting broadcasters to tender for licenses on the DTT platform. Licenses are available for national, regional and local services.

RTVV aims to allocate the licenses in June 2010 and licenses will be valid until March 2014. Applications must be received by 26 April.

The licenses are available for either standard-definition or high-definition services. These services must use the MPEG-4 AVC compression standard.

The government expects that two DVB-T2 multiplexes can be made available for national broadcast services.
