Uzbek firm Telemax starts producing digtal TV receivers
Uzbekistan's TELEMAX ELECTRONICS COMPANY began mass production of digital signal receivers this year. The production of receivers and transmitters will help the Uzbek government both to intensify the introduction of digital television and reduce the population's costs for new TV services.
Uzbekistan is due to switch completely to digital television by 2015. By the end of 2010, coverage area will be expanded in Tashkent, and digital TV transmitters will begin trial operation in Samarkand, Andijan, and Kashkadarya regions and the autonomous republic of Karakalpakstan. (Asia in Focus)
