Roma Caput Digital ?

You may find it funny or worrying. It’s up to you. Italian press and other mass media have proudly claimed that Rome is the first European capital to switch to digital TV.
Nobody checked if it was true.

Actually one did. Francesco Zanfardino on Agoravox Webiste (you can read the article here ) tells us that Berlin was the first capital to switch to digital TV. Moreover Germany, Holland, Sweden, Finland and Luxemburg are entirely covered by digital TV.

What can we say? Not much about Italian mass media. Something more about the web. The information are just there, we should only have the goodwill to go through them.
