Abstract
La TDT es uno de los soportes posibles para la transmisión de la señal televisiva digitalizada. Es justamente su pertenencia al mundo digital lo que la coloca, junto a otros nuevos desarrollos, en la agenda de la Unión Europea en torno del acceso de todos los ciudadanos a los bienes y servicios de la Sociedad de la Información (SI) y en la posición de candidata natural a sustituir a la universal televisión tradicional. A partir de 1993, se pondrá en marcha una nueva fase en la historia de las políticas audiovisuales europeas marcada por la preocupación en torno de la SI y la Convergencia. En su interior, surgirá un posicionamiento respecto de la televisión digital que acabará condicionando las políticas europeas respecto de la digitalización de las redes terrestres en un sentido polarizado y subordinado. Al estudio de dichas políticas de TDT se destina este artículo, que defiende la necesidad de su democratización para alcanzar una prestación del servicio de televisión hertziana de forma más eficiente, habilitando al mismo tiempo, una plataforma digital que pueda llegar a vehiculizar los servicios de la SI a toda la población.
DTT is one of the existing platforms that can deliver audiovisual content and digital services. Such profile is precisely what includes it in the European Union’s agenda to ensure access to the benefits of Information Society (IS) and presents it as the natural successor for the role of offering universal television services once switch-off has taken place. In 1993, a new phase in the history of the European audiovisual policy began, characterized by the concern around the IS and the Convergence. In this context, a positioning regarding digital television arose, conditioning the European policies related to the digitalization of the terrestrial nets in a polarized and subordinated sense. To the study of these DTT policies is devoted this article, which defends the need of its democratization to reach a more efficient terrestrial television service, enabling at the same time, a digital platform that could offer IS services to the whole population.
