Application of Legal Texts in the Migration from Analog to Digital Television in the Republic of Guinea

The application of legal texts in the context of digital television is a process that relies on several normative instruments, ranging from international treaties, such as those of the ITU (International Telecommunications Union), to national regulations defining the obligations of audiovisual operators and the modalities of consumer support. Many countries have introduced specific laws and regulations to organize the gradual switch-off of analog broadcasting and encourage the adoption of new digital standards. Consequently, the digitization of Guinea’s broadcasting network cannot be carried out without taking into account the legal framework: allocation of resources and broadcasting players.Analog and digital broadcasting, according to regulatory texts, shows the relationships between the different communication management structures. As for digital broadcasting, we note the appearance of a new service, multiplex.
