The digitisation of the transmission of radio and television signals is not only a technical and technological process -- it is also one with many social and cultural dimensions. Media are cultural services, and offering a greater variety of media content to society is an important democratic value. Access to quality media content is part of the problem of access of the audience to cultural and creative products, so it is essential and necessary to provide such access free of charge to the end user/recipient, without payment to the media distribution medium, in as much as possible a large degree.
