The document discusses the history and process of Ukraine's transition to digital television (DTV). It outlines the initial meetings starting in 2005 to develop a DTV implementation plan. A phased transition plan was agreed to in 2007, but disagreement between stakeholders caused issues. The document calls for a new coordination model and goals, including a financial model, set-top box distribution, and prioritizing the switchover of national channels.
