Finland - DTT roll-out schedule updated

Television broadcasting companies MTV Oy, SWelcom Oy and the Finnish National Broadcasting Company Oy made an agreement with Digita Oy in June on complementing digital television broadcasting networks of multiplexes A and B. According to the agreement, Digita builds a total of 48 sub-transmitters to enhance the visibility of digital television in different parts of Finland. The location of all sub-transmitters is now resolved and the roll-out schedule is updated.
