The holder of Technological Development of Cantabria, Javier del Olmo, has made sure, also, that the cost is going to be marginal, minimal, for his autonomy.
Of the Elm tree it has given these explanations in press conference, after there announced SES-Astra who studies to tackle legal actions against the Cantabrian Government for having broken the contract.
The adviser has remembered that his department decided to summon a contest to spread the sign of satellite digital television in an exercise of 'common sense', because with the extension model terrestrial route, chosen initially by the State, 10 % of the citizens of Cantabria was going to remain without sign on April 3, 2010, the date foreseen for the analogical blackout.
As soon as the contract was awarded in Cantabria, the Department of Science and Technology decided to join the rediffusion for satellite and award the service to a different operator, Abertis, to give it free to the autonomous regions.
The adviser has remembered the reserves of the team of the Department of Science and Technology of the past term to re-spread the sign for satellite, what led to his department to summoning the contest that SES-Astra awarded.
Of the Elm tree he has underlined that Cantabria is going to be the autonomous region first in having the double extension of the service, terrestrial and for satellite, and has remembered that in the oriental area of the autonomous region the 'digital ignition' will be June 1, 2009.
The satellite extension will be several months earlier, in a date still for determining.
