The Regulatory Administrative Resolution issued on October 28, 2025, has as its central purpose the approval and implementation of a “Monitoring Guide for the Analog Television Switch-Off” for Bolivia, within the framework of the national transition to Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT).

The Technical Report cited in the resolution emphasizes that the analog switch-off implies that television operators with current licenses for analog technology must cease their analog transmissions and adopt a transition model towards open DTT.

The resolution and its guide transform the analog switch-off into a controlled and monitored process, with a strong emphasis on public information, phased testing, periodic reporting, and regulatory oversight, so that Bolivia can move towards DTT while minimizing the risk of technological exclusion and ensuring continuity of television service under digital standards.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on television operators with analog and/or digital licenses, the regulatory body, and end users.

CONCLUSION:

The resolution has a high impact because it accelerates and mandates the analog switch-off with specific obligations, deadlines, and penalties, immediately affecting operators and the ATT (Telecommunications Authority), and preparing the public for an inevitable technological migration.
