ABS-CBN Corp. plans to raise P5 billion for the rollout of digital terrestrial television (DTT) nationwide, company officials said.
Rolando Valdueza, ABS-CBN chief finance officer, said the company has spent P500 million for a movie library for digital TV.
"It depends on the take-up. If necessary, we will do some fund-raising if we’re going to do a nationwide rollout," Valdueza said.
Valdueza said the company is hopeful the commercial rollout of the new technology could take place this year.
The implementing rules and regulations on DTT were supposed to be released in June but Malacañang directed the NTC to evaluate the standard offered by a European consortium.
ABS-CBN prefers the ISDTV technology of Japan, which is being tested in Pampanga.
ABS-CBN launched in April a digital TV service called DTV digibox, which aims to capture 90 percent of low-income households without cable in the country.
The digibox will be serve as the viewers’ gateway to five new premium TV channels on free-to-air TV. It will be initially available in Luzon this year then in the Visayas and Mindanao next year.
Digibox rates range from P1,000 to P3,000.
Customer can also watch other channels like ABS-CBN Channel 2, Studio 23, NBN and GEM.
Since 2007, ABS-CBN has been laying the groundwork for the new technology, the broadcaster said. The network’s DTV system in place and ready to be rolled out in the second half of the year.

how about ang kita nila?!BOBO!
and kung UUTANG man sila KAYA NILA itong BAYARAN!BOBO!
bakit sila magLALAKAS LOOB na mangutang kung wla silang KAKAYAHANG MAGBAYAD!?
BOBO!
hahahah BOBO!
...at paano naman pauutangin ng mga financing institutions ang ABS kung wala itong kakayahang magbayad. Ang utang para sa investment ay tanda ng financial stability. Ito ay hindi ibibigay ng creditors kung walang kakayahang magbayad ang isang Debtor.
Tandaan nyo, ang first quarter capital investment ng ABS ay sobrang laki kumpara sa buong taong budget na ng GMA.

===============================
i agree with you. Based on my readings and research dati bout sa utang ng ABS-CBN..mismong mga financial institutions ang tumutulong sa ABS na makipag ugnayan sa ibang financial institutions...di naman siguro ii-endorse ng ibang financial institution ang ABS kung walang kakayahang magbayad at my bad record..
according on my CRDIT and BANKING class before.. the financial institutions/lenders/creditors observe not only one aspect but many aspects to determine the credit worthiness of potential borrowers...may tinatawag pa sa C&B na 5 c's:
-Character
-Capacity
-Capital
-Collateral
-Conditions
one thing ASSOCIATED with DEBT is "TRUST"....
kung alam yan ng iba maiintindihan nila ang concept ng UTANG.. because UTANg or DEBT is LEGAL unless violated the stipulated rules in the contract....
hahaha kaya pala TAKOT NA TAKOT ang mga KAPOKPOK kasi wala silang budget, puro budget pang praise relase, sardines at noodles lang, di ba BOBONG LONG?!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
sana matuto na ang mga defender ng GMA tungkol sa UTANG, kung paano ito ibinibigay, ipinagkakatiwala at kung anong ibig sabihin nito sa isang business institution.
