  • 1. Welcome I Welcome the Consultation by Ofcom on Its Role in Furthering the Interests of Citizens. I Am Glad That Ofcom Recogni
    1. Welcome I welcome the consultation by Ofcom on its role in furthering the interests of citizens. I am glad that Ofcom recognises that it has a role to further the interests of citizens, as well as consumers, and that these interests are often different and that there may be tensions between them. I hope that in responding to future consultations; Ofcom will explicitly identify citizen interests as distinct from consumer interests (and from producer interests, especially commercial interests which it is not the role of Ofcom to further.). I welcome the statement, “Where intervention is needed, the rationale is that there are certain outcomes required by society which would not be delivered by markets alone. This might be described as the broader public interest or citizen interest.” This statement has particular importance for Ofcom intervention within the market for Digital Terrestrial Television and to a lesser extent, Cable Television, given the drastically limited availability of bandwidth on DTTV and the current unbundled nature of cable TV services in the UK. 2. Successful market intervention by the ITC to restrict Pay TV on DTTV The decision by the ITC to restrict Pay TV on the three Multiplexes surrended by ITV Digital/OnDigital (following the failure of an ambitious Pay TV offering which included more of Sky’s Sports Channels and Film Channels than are proposed for Picnic) and to encourage a predominantly Free to Air service, Freeview, was a clear example of market intervention in order to further the public interest / citizen interest. That decision ensured far more efficient use of the very restricted bandwidth available to DTTV than the previous, approximately ½ and ½ FTA/Pay TV balance.
