Those interested in participating can access the specifications and other relevant documents on the INDOTEL portal (www.indotel.gob.do/enlaces/licitación-indotel-bid-lpi-001-2022/).
INDOTEL has identified as beneficiaries vulnerable households that have an “analog” television and do not have a subscription television service (cable); that is, households that consume content on open television.
With the start of the transmission of open television digital signals, users who receive this signal will be able to enjoy high-definition images and better audio quality.
The implementation of the DTT is carried out within the framework of the “Expansion of Connectivity for Digital Transformation in the Dominican Republic” project, which is being executed by the INDOTELin correspondence with the General Telecommunications Law number 153-98, which designates it as the institution responsible for guaranteeing the right to universal access to telecommunications services.
