Le Conseil National des Télécommunications (CONATEL) has authorized Digital Satellite System (DSS) to install an encrypted digital television system in Haiti. The DSS, as part of a tender will install on all the territory, a digital terrestrial television network encrypted in accordance with all laws governing the telecommunications and the media operations in Haiti.
