Technology as Gatekeeper: How Infrastructure and Digital Skills Shape Digital TV Switchover Engagement

This study examines the impact of perceived infrastructural support and digital skills on user engagement with Nigeria's Digital Switchover (DSO). It investigates if digital skills mediate the relationship between infrastructural readiness and participation in this national digital broadcasting reform. Utilising a cross-sectional survey and structural equation modelling, the research tests both direct and mediating relationships among these factors.
