SARFT warns Cable operators to switch to digital or else

The Beijing Morning Post reported that China's State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) said China's 40 cable TV network operators with licenses to run digital TV trials must begin the switch to Digital TV (referencing DVB-C standard) before June 30, 2006. The report said that cities that do not begin to make the switch will lose their trial licenses. Apart from Qingdao, Dalian and Taiyuan, progress in the switch to digital has been very slow due to high prices of TV top boxes and digital programming.
