Peru"s Executive Power postponed 90 days the period for the presentation of the 
digital TV standard recommendation as from October. The decision obeys to 
requests from the Embassies of China and Brazil, representatives of DMB-T and 
ISDB-T, respectively, to have their standards considered.

The Multi-sector Commission, who is responsible for recommending the most 
suitable standard to the Peruvian market, is doing tests with ATSC, DVB and 
ISDB in the provinces of Cusco and Arequipa. Mobile standard ATSC is not being 
tested as the equipment has not been received yet.

Digital TV implementation is targeted to start in 2009 and the analog blackout 
may occur in the term of ten to fifteen years, said Vice Minister of 
Communications, Cayetana Aljovín.

"It is advisable to perform field tests of DMB-T and ISDB-T standards with 
Brazilian innovations, under the same conditions in which the other standards 
were tested, and start evaluating them from an economic and technical-economic 
cooperation perspective," said in a press release published in the morning 
newspaper Crónica Viva de Perú, the Ministry of Transport and Communications 
(MTC).

The Multi-sector Commission is integrated by a representative of the Ministries 
of Transport and Communications, Production and Foreign Affairs; one of the 
Presidency of the Ministers" Council (PCM) and one of the Radio and Television
Advisory Council (Concortv).
