The deadline for the switchover from analogue to Digital Television was set on 17 June 2015, heralds the development of ‘all-digital’ terrestrial broadcast services for sound and television for 119 countries belonging to ITU Region-1, including Palestine. Efficient use of radio spectrum brought on by digital TV also allows for the so-called Digital Dividend resulting from the freeing up of much-needed spectrum in Palestine for use by other services, such as mobile broadband (3G and 4G). The efforts of the Palestinian government towards the completion of switchover are going very rapidly from the technical point of view only. However, we cannot talk about Digital Dividend without talking about social Digital Divide. In this research we will focus on the social effects of such huge and rapid transition in technology in Palestine.
