Manila – A new digital terrestrial television service provider in the Philippines, All Asia Broadcast Systems Inc, plans to spend nearly US$2 million to launch its service, the Business Mirror reports. In a filing with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), All Asia Broadcast said it expects to earn about US$15.8 million during the first five years of operation from the establishment of a digital TV station in Metro Manila. All Asia Broadcast plans to start with four DVB-TÂ transmitter sites in the National Capital Region. Although the Philippines has traditionally adopted US technical standards in broadcasting, the company said it expected more broadcast companies in the Philippines to adopt the European DVB-T standard as it addresses the multipath problems associated with reflections from varying terrains and manmade structures. The company is waiting for the NTC to allocate frequencies which it expects to be between channels 21 and 51.
