Grace/Listers,

Unless I am wrong,  the report
that you are referring to is available on our website at http://www.cck.go.ke/about/downloads/Transition_2007.pdf

Initially, the simulcast period
was envisaged to end in June 2012. However due to delays in the deployment of
signal distribution infrastructure and unavailability of set top boxes in adequate
quantities in the local market, the simulcast period was extended to December
31st, 2012. 

Best regards,

Christopher Wambua

No,
I do not have the plan. However,  I remember reading about the end of the
simulcast period either in the first report done by the committee appointed to
look into the matter, or there must have been some information in the press
advertised by the digital migration secretariat. Further, the report had talked
of how the frequencies would be handled. There was clearly a plan in place.
Maybe CCK could share it.

frequencies are going to be set aside for TV and radio (public, private and
community), security, aviation? Please share.

a plan that had been released and CCK may have been following it considering
the switch off was meant to happen last year.
