The Government is clear that the development of local TV is a two-stage process. The first stage will be roll-out on digital terrestrial television (DTT) services where possible, which may be accompanied by some satellite and cable services. In the second stage, local TV will be available through Internet Protocol Television (IPTV). The rollout of super-fast broadband will mean that local TV will eventually be available to everyone across the UK. This document is focused on the first stage of the process. .
