Montenegro assesses ASO

The transition to digital broadcasting will cost Montenegro an estimated €3 million, excluding the procurement of equipment and changes to infrastructure.

The figure was arrived at by Slovenian consultants hired by the Broadcasting Agency (ARD), and they have proposed subsidies for set-top boxes, which will cost viewers €60-80 each.

A pilot DTT project with around 1,000 users will be launched by the end of 2008, with ASO is set for 2012.
