On 3 July 2009, the Authority published its final Digital Terrestrial Television Regulations (DTT Regulations). On 24 July 2009, the NAB addressed a letter to the Authority raising concerns on the status of the final regulations. The NAB letter to the Authority was concerned about the provisions of Regulation 8(2) which required all broadcasters to provide audio tracks in no fewer than 3 official languages. The NAB was concerned that apart from the technical complexity and prohibitive costs of carrying out this requirement, the issue had not been discussed during the initial drafting process, and was thrown into the final regulations as an after-thought by the Authority.

Subsequent to the publication of the final regulations, the Authority received some legal opposition from the industry, opposing the final regulations. As a result, on 04 September 2009, the Authority withdrew the final regulations and re-published a draft for public comments. The closing date for the submission of written submissions was 02 October 2009. The Authority has scheduled oral hearings in respect of these draft regulations for 29 and 30 October 2009.
