El Maresme, la Garrotxa, el Ripollès i part del Vallès Oriental seran les zones pioneres de l'apagada analògica, el 30 de juny. Prop de 700.000 catalans deixaran de veure la televisió de sempre. El 80% de les famílies d'aquestes zones ja estan connectades a la TDT. El Ministeri d'Indústria, la delegació del govern i responsables d'algun dels municipis afectats van mantenir ahir una trobada en què es va recordar que el 20% restant tenen 42 dies per fer els canvis: instal·lar un descodificador i, si cal, adaptar l'antena.

When someone demands to know how we are going to replace newspapers, they are really demanding to be told that we are not living through a revolution. (...) They are demanding to be lied to. There are fewer and fewer people who can convincingly tell such a lie. — Clay Shirky in Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable [thx LD] http://www.shirky.com/weblog/2009/03/newspapers-and-thinking-the-unthinkable/

When someone demands to know how we are going to replace newspapers, they are really demanding to be told that we are not living through a revolution. They are demanding to be told that old systems won’t break before new systems are in place. They are demanding to be told that ancient social bargains aren’t in peril, that core institutions will be spared, that new methods of spreading information will improve previous practice rather than upending it.
