The Minister of Communications, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, delivering the keynote address at the forum, said Ghana could not meet the September 21, 2017 deadline set for the migration from analogue to digital broadcasting.
The Chairman of the NMC, Nana Kwasi Gyan-Apenteng, observed that given the rapid changes in technology, it was important for all stakeholders in the communications sector to collaborate to ensure that innovative mechanisms were put in place for effective digital migration.
For his part, an international expert on media technology and policy from South Africa, Mr Michael Dearham, urged the government to consult other international bodies to beef up its regulatory framework on digital migration.
