After 10years the Official public "launch" of Irish DTT is not happening on 31st October 2010 as planned. Due to failure to find a Commercial PayTV operator the  launch this Autumn will be called a Testing phase (soft launch?) and official Launch as a National Service effectively in 2012

Quote:

The Minister for Communications has told the Dáil that the Digital Terrestrial Television service will be up and running in a testing capacity by October. Eamon Ryan earlier said he had told RTÉ that the full DTT service will be launched on 31 December 2011. Minister Ryan said it would be a tight schedule but that the necessary set-top boxes were ready to go.
