Abstract
International Telecommunications Union (of which Uganda is a signatory) in its Geneva 2006 conference set the analog-to-digital broadcasting transition deadline for June 2015. Uganda (under the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology) set its switchover date to 31st December 2012. This paper provides a situational analysis of whether Uganda is on track or not to meet the deadline. We discuss and analyse the actions taken by broadcasters and various government agencies including the regulator in support of this transition. Based on this analysis we recommend some further measures to both government and consumers to further enhance the chances of Uganda successfully meeting the deadline
