The first session of the RRC has successfully dompleted its main task, that of establishing the basis for the intersessional work and the second session. In the words of Ken Hunt, Consultant at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU): "This task was not easy as it involved taking into account the often divergent views expressed by representatives of many different services and sometimes the divergent views expressed on behalf of different broadcasters. However, this is not the end of the work. Far from it! One task now facing many people, broadcasters and administrations, is to turn the proposals of the first session into hard reality as the digital broadcasting reguirements which will form the basis for the future digital plan. Another task is to ensure that all of the various technical issues are taken into account by the computer software which will be needed. In due time, which for some broadcasters means very soon while for others it may take longer, we can expect that the new digital plan will provide all of the benefits expected of it and, who knows, even some additional benefits which nobody has yet given any thought to."
