Abstract

This paper aims to determine the evolution of the introduction of Digital Terrestrial Television in Spain. In this country, there are three territorial levels: state, regional, and local. Each of them with its own characteristics, legislation, and licensing division. This article refers to the state level. In the digital age, more attention is being paid to technology and media than to contents. From here it’s assumed that DTT challenges should focus on improving the variety and quality of content and promoting interactivity. The issue of the digital dividend will also be addressed. Before 2015, a frequency band must be reserved for other uses, in particular for the provision of advanced electronic communications services.
