Flor, I think that they are now called the BCI, the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland. You know the drill though, they'll probably change it again.

So they will now pass the tender on to the next in line, which is a consortium of three companies that includes Setanta TV, in hopes that they are still interested. I've no doubt that there are more details in RTÉ News and in the on-line editions of the news publications. According to what I heard (John gormely/Eamonn Ryan) the rollout will still go ahead, though a little later. At any rate, to comply with EU rulings, analogue television will have to be switched off by 2012. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Sweeney" <tonysweeney@xxxxx> To: "vics" <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 12:47 AM Subject: [vicsireland] DTT Snag! Hi All, Wonder if any of you have anny thoughts on the today's announcement that Boxer have opted out of DTT? You will find podcasts on Morning Ireland, News at 1 and am sure others. Would be good to hear from you on this! Is DTT now dead in the water?
