Description
A report compiled by Martin Le Jeune. New technology is transforming the broadcasting landscape. From the point of view of the consumer, there is more choice, better content and more ways of accessing it. The report argues that the right response is clear: as the market provides more, the state should do less. Public intervention should be focused on where there is genuine ‘market failure’ and the remit and funding of the BBC should reflect this.
