It does mean the latter. They were given authorisation to extend multiplexes to 2034. If they couldn't enact the 5 years notice until 2030 then there would be no point as the license would expire in less than 5 years from then.
The licenses could be extended once again if there is a need, 2034 isn't a definite end point for DTT.
Plenty time to know if they are going down the 5G Broadcast route, keeping the status quo, or something else entirely.
Maybe it'll just be 1 multiplex of the legacy technology from 2034, it doesn't need to be all or nothing. So many possibilities.
