[kictanet] Judge to rule on whether-to-stop-analogue-signal-cut-off

[ICT Researcher]

Appreciate your trustworthy, factual reporting of the court proceedings and noting your respect of the court and due process, that is, steering clear of extending your case argument on this public forum. Sharply contrasting to your co-litigants (undisclosed reporter's) emboldened "news" arguing their grounds to the the public and the whole world.

Court puts off digital TV migration to Dec 23
  By Nation Reporter
More by this Author  
The High Court has put off the digital 
migration of TV scheduled for this Friday until December 23, when a 
ruling on the case challenging the move will be made.

The injunction could be extended if the ruling in the case filed by Nation 
Media Group, Royal Media Services, and the Standard Media Group would 
not be ready then.

The media houses are challenging the proposed switch-off on grounds that it is unconstitutional and that the illegality in the process be addressed before it becomes effective on 
Friday.

Earlier Tuesday, Justice David Majanja had 
declined to assent to the plea by the three media houses to have the 
digital migration suit determined by three judges, saying he could 
handle it.

The hearing of the Digital Migration High Court Petition has just been concluded this evening and the Hon Judge has indicated that he cannot deliver a reasoned ruling on or before 13th Dec and has reserved the same on or before 23rd Dec.

As was predicted in my other post, he has granted injunctory orders barring the Digital Migration process till the delivery of his judgment. What that means essentially is that 13th Dec is not on for Nrb and Government/CCK will have to set a new date after
 the judgment is delivered. Any media/public campaigns for the 13th 

Unfortunately, this being a public forum, it would be sub judice to respond to the inquiry regarding "200 Km" as I would necessarily touch on matters pending before the Court for Judgment.
Omo, j.

Attached map helps better visualisation of the areas that would not be permitted to receive television signal. Trace would be affected areas. The whole of Nairobi may be forced to be without any analogue signal? Machakos, Nakuru, Malindi,    Eldoret..... etc.

Just supposing the delay was effected until midnight June 17, 2015....

Recalling 29 November, 2013 post to this list, "....post 2015, [neighbouring countries] digital broadcasts are protected from analogue broadcast interferences from a distance of 200 km from the borders..."

Which means that only a small area in central Kenya would be allowed to receive analogue signals while all areas within 200 km off Kenyan borders would be signal blank, suggesting, Kisumu, Malaba, Mombasa, even Nairobi(or parts thereoff) would be affected. 

Talk of postponement formenting national broadcasts chaos.
