Distribution of Yle’s HD channels in DNA’s VHF terrestrial network to end on 31 March

Share
DNA and Yle have agreed that the distribution of Yle’s HD channels will end in DNA’s VHF terrestrial network on 31 March 2020.

DNA has announced that it will shut down its VHF terrestrial network in 2020, and will also be relinquishing its terrestrial network license at the same time. The schedule for Yle’s HD channel reception has now been specified – the channels will be available via VHF antennas until 31 March.

DNA has previously announced that the distribution of MTV3 and TV5’s HD channels will end in its VHF network at the end of this year. It has also been announced that HD pay channels currently in the VHF network will be transferred to the UHF network at the turn of the new year, in conjunction with a business transaction between DNA and Digita concerning terrestrial pay-TV operations. Subscribers can use UHF antennas to continue receiving the channels and using their pay-TV services. DNA will continue to serve subscribers in its own channels as a partner to Digita. Information about the changes has been sent directly to subscribers.

DNA will be focusing on cable and broadband distribution, and continuing to offer a wide range of TV services throughout Finland. DNA will continue to provide TV services for antenna households via broadband.

Koulujen kännykkäkielto näkyy mobiiliverkossa: Datamäärät laskeneet paikoin merkittävästi, mutta koulukohtainen vaihtelu on suurta14.10.2025 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote

Suomessa on elokuusta 2025 alkaen ollut voimassa lakiin perustuva kännykkäkielto peruskoulun oppitunneilla. Oppilaiden mobiililaitteiden käyttö on kielletty oppituntien aikana ilman opettajan lupaa, ja tällöinkin lähinnä opetukseen tai terveydenhoitoon liittyvissä asioissa. DNA:n tekemä vertailu kouluja palvelevien mobiilitukiasemien kautta kulkevan datan määrässä osoittaa, että kännykän käyttö kouluissa vaikuttaa pääosin vähentyneen –, joidenkin koulujen alueilla jopa merkittävästi.

The mobile phone ban in schools can be seen in the mobile network: Data usage has decreased significantly in some areas, but school-specific variation is huge14.10.2025 08:30:00 EEST | Press release

Since August 2025, a law-based mobile phone ban has been in effect during primary school lessons in Finland. Students are prohibited from using mobile devices during lessons without the teacher’s permission, and even then, only for educational or healthcare-related purposes. A comparison conducted by DNA on the amount of data passing through mobile base stations serving schools indicates that mobile phone use in schools has generally decreased – in some school areas even significantly.

Tutkimus: Valtiolliset toimijat vasta toiseksi suurin kyberturvallisuuden huolenaihe suomalaisyrityksille8.10.2025 10:00:00 EEST | Tiedote

DNA:n teettämän tuoreen tietoturvatutkimuksen* mukaan 70 prosenttia Suomessa toimivien yritysten ICT-päättäjistä on huolissaan kyberturvallisuudesta. Konkreettisessa varautumisessa on yrityksillä kuitenkin petrattavaa, sillä vain reilu neljännes harjoittelee kyberkriisitilanteita ja toiminnan palauttamista. Merkittävimpänä huolenaiheena pidetään yhä tietojen joutumista vääriin käsiin. Valtiollisiin toimijoihin kohdistuvan huolen osuus on laskenut hieman edellisvuodesta, mutta niihin liittyvä uhkakuva nähdään edelleen vasta toiseksi suurimpana. Tietoturvaan tehtävät investoinnit ovat puolestaan edelleen kasvussa.
