The Digital Committee NGO was created to represent the interests of Ukrainian television viewers, broadcasters, manufacturers and other companies during Ukraine's transition to digital terrestrial television. The organization will influence the transparent and democratic implementation of digital TV in Ukraine by participating in government processes and policy development, educating viewers, and facilitating cooperation across the television industry. Its goals are to help consolidate the TV industry, educate the public on digital television technologies, and ensure a successful switchover from analog to digital standards by 2015 as required by international agreements.
