The provisional timetable for this call for applications is as follows:
- March 28, 2008(instead of March 11, 2008): deadline for submission of applications;
- April 2008: public hearing of candidates;
- May 2008: selection, agreement negotiation and authorization.
The Board would like to see the service start broadcasting as soon as possible after authorization is granted.
