The Universal Service and Access
Agency of South Africa published the
qualifying criteria for five million low or no-income television-owning families
to apply a government-approved subsidy for buying set-top boxes for the
country’s move from analogue to digital terrestrial broadcasting.
According to the
criteria released by the Universal Service and Access Agency of South Africa,
all those who want to receive the subsidies must be South African citizens,
have valid TV licenses, proof of ownership of an operational television set,
and proof of household income or social grant dependency.
The subsidies
proposed for digital terrestrial broadcasting set-top boxes range from 66% for those
households without an income to 15% for those earning up to ZAR 2,499 a month.
In areas where satellite transmission is needed for digital reception, the
subsidy ranges from 77% for no-or-low income households to 29% for those earning
up to ZAR 3,200 a month.
