lpv:translated text	"The digital television era is supposed to be one of increased competition and an era where consumers have more choice between quality services. Unfortunately the change over to digital TV in Malta is creating new monopolies where consumers are simply being asked to pay for the screening of popular sports events which until today have been enjoyed free of charge. Moreover we are witnessing the formation of a factual state in which there is no interoperability between the different systems of digital television. This means that it is very difficult to interchange systems with the result that the choice of the consumer is being limited. Even worse, our consumers are being asked to pay private operators to receive national channels which until today they had been receiving free of charge while the authorities still expect them to pay the same amount for the television licence. The digital era is supposed to be such that information and entertainment are accessible to all rather than to an increasingly restricted number of people."@en1
