Britain urged to switch off analogue TV by 2010

ÿÿÿÿ LONDON, May 21 (Reuters) - Britain should pull the plug on viewers' existing television sets by the year 2010 to speed the country's transition to the digital age, a parliamentary committee recommended on Thursday.

ÿÿÿÿ The Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, urging sweeping reforms in media and telecoms regulation, called for Prime Minister Tony Blair's government to announce a switch-off date for analogue TV by the end of this year.

ÿÿÿÿ The report, entitled "The Multi-Media Revolution," represented a major step toward setting a date for Britain's analogue switch-off. Although the government does not have to accept the recommendations, it must respond to the report in two months as part of the policy-making process.
