The BBC Trust was due to make an important decision on the future of the Gaelic language channel BBC Alba.

However the Trust has decided to delay making this decision until after the future plans for the BBC have been published.

Currently BBC Alba is only available to viewers that have a satellite TV system and, in order to offer the BBC Alba service to a wider audience, the plan was to add the channel to the free-to-view digital TV service Freeview.

But adding BBC Alba to the Freeview service is not as easy as if may first seem, as it would require the removal of around thirteen radio stations from the service during the peak times of between 5pm and 11pm every evening.

TeleGuam are gathering around a crisp video picture gleaming off of a new, high

GTA reached out to CSI
Digital in 2007 as a way to deliver all-digital IPTV services to its subscribers.
All-digital IPTV would allow GTA to deliver superior quality television services and
be fully competitive with the incumbent cable company. CSI Digital has extensive experience
in IPTV delivery, having already initiated IPTV services in seven locations nationwide.
CSI Digital’s partner in the deployment is Avail Media. Avail Media is an innovator
in IPTV linear and VOD content aggregation and has worked extensively with CSI Digital
to ensure high-quality television service delivery to operators over multiple broadband
network types and configurations.

GTA expects commercial roll-out of its digital IPTV service by June 2008.
