• Resumen

  • Digital switchover and digital convergence challenge regulators to re-examine the justifications for regulating television content. These can be grouped under three headings: access, contribution and protection. Each of these areas is challenged to respond to three key pressures: the decline of the linear schedule; the emergence of connected TV; and the emergence of new players in the business value chain. Regulators will need to refine existing approaches, develop new tools and empower audiences to take more control for themselves. Although digital television will both encompass new services and sit alongside other audio-visual services with different roots and different regulation, its specialness will continue to justify a regulatory regime that underpins its contribution and potential impact.
