ABSTRACT
Only 17 percent of French households received digital television in 2002.1 Hence, for public authorities, digital terrestrial television (DTTV) is mainly a means to stimulate the development of digital television, However, cable and satellite operators (TF1, M6, and Canal Plus), which have been designated as leaders of the DTTV process, are reluctant, as they view DTTV as a competitor to their existing platforms.
