Thanks alot Wambua for this. Yes this is the report. And ofcourse there were a couple of adverts in the press from the Digital Migration Secretariat that provided more info.

However due to delays in the deployment of signal distribution infrastructure and unavailability of set top boxes in adequate quantities in the local market, the simulcast period was extended to December 31st, 2012.

However, I remember reading about the end of the simulcast period either in the first report done by the committee appointed to look into the matter, or there must have been some information in the press advertised by the digital migration secretariat. Further, the report had talked of how the frequencies would be handled. There was clearly a plan in place. Maybe CCK could share it. Rgds GG

Thanks. Do you have a copy of the plan. Does it make clear which frequencies are going to be set aside for TV and radio (public, private and community), security, aviation? Please share.

Thanks Henry.
I thought the simulcast period is over? Cant quite remember but there was a plan that had been released and CCK may have been following it considering
