Main Goals:Main Goals:• to compete with content and services - not with technology
i.e. to build a uniform technical platform to customers on which to compete
• For a small market like Finland right timing and scale is essential: we can’t lead the way, but we try to ride with the second wave when everything is ready, tested and affordable
• small markets need close co-operation:– between terrestrial and cable– public service and commercial companies– Finnish speakening majority and Swedish speakening minority– even between the hardest rivals!

Principle solution of the distribution :Principle solution of the distribution :
• The terrestrial distribution is the basic way to reach every Finnish household owned and operated by Digita Ltd
• Cable must carry all national services and add their own services
• Satellite service reaches Finnish citizens even abroad (TV Finland)
