The Department stated that whilst there have been slight improvements in performance compared to previous financial years there were still challenges in skills capacity with regard to Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) and the Broadband project. The Department indicated that it was in the process of developing a single coherent strategy for the implementation of the Broadband project hence the reluctance to utilise funding until such a strategy was in place. The process of finalising appointments of senior personnel, including the Chief Financial Officer was scheduled for the end of December 2012.
