(Telecompaper) The Dutch government sees a future in digital television and will therefore look to auction frequencies for commercial use, Minister of Economic Affairs Henk Kamp said in a letter to the Lower House of Parliament. The minister said modern technologies such as DVB-T2 will bring on new possibilities and that ether television would be able, also after 2017, to ensure consumer choice and market competition. KPN's Digitenne is the most important player on the terrestrial television market at the moment, with a total TV market share of around 6 percent, the minister said. An auction could take place in 2019, the minister said, providing no further details.
