Telenor and BBC World Service Enter Agreement for Digital Broadcasting
Telenor and BBC World Service enter agreement for digital broadcasting Telenor-owned Norkring has entered into an agreement with the BBC World Service for digital broadcasting over short wave, DRM. As part of the agreement, the BBC will be among the first in the world to broadcast over DRM. From Norkring's transmitting station at Kvitsøy, signals will be broadcast to Central Europe. This new agreement with the BBC is an important step in the digitalisation of short wave, which actually has the capacity to achieve global reach. The agreement involves broadcast of the radio channel BBC World Service "English for Europe" for an initial period of 18 months. The BBC is also using UK-based transmitters owned and operated by VT Communications (VTC) to provide a multi-frequency network aimed at Benelux and neighbouring countries. "For us this as an exciting partnership with one of the world's leading broadcasters. The BBC is a driving force within DRM, and contributes to set the standard for the future role of short wave," said sales and marketing director at Norkring, Per Maltun. The first major test will be the launch of receivers for DRM at the world's largest exhibition for consumer electronics, the IFA in Berlin 2-7 September 2005. About DRM DRM is short for Digital Radio Mondiale, a new digital radio standard specifically designed for use in short wave, medium wave and long wave bands. A worldwide consortium, consisting of all the leading broadcasters from all five continents, is responsible for the development of the DRM standard, which is now being implemented across the globe.

Please find our answers to the questions from the Authority below: 1. Please explain why the facility licences for all multiplexes (i.e. Riksblokka I, Regionalblokka, Riksblokka II and Lokalradioblokka) have been awardedfor a 17- year period. In particular, the Authority invites the Norwegian Government to explain the reasons why this licence period is considered “appropriate ” pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/20/EC on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (OJL 108, 24.4.2002, p.21). According to Directive 2009/140/EC, article 5 (2) the length of the licence period shall take into consideration: "the service concerned in view of the objective pursued taking due account o f the need to allow for an appropriate period for investment amortisation. " The licences will last until 2031 in order to allow for amortisation of the investments necessary to build a DAB- network. As we highlighted in our answer to question no 9 in our letter of 18 March 2016, Norway's topography and settlement pattern requires the world's most extensive DAB- network serving a population of only 5 million.

Supreme Court of Norway
SUPREME COURT OF NORWAY On 28 November 2018, the Supreme Court gave judgment in HR-2018-2268-A, (case no. 2018/233), civil case, appeal against judgment RiksTV AS (Counsel Andreas Bernt) (Assistant counsel: Rasmus Asbjørnsen) v. TONO SA (Counsel Camilla Vislie) (1) Justice Webster: The case concerns claims for compensation for breach of the Copyright Act. The question is whether RiksTV AS's distribution of TV channels in the terrestrial network constitutes a communication to the public within the meaning of section 2 of the 1961 Copyright Act and section 3 of the 2018 Copyright Act. If that is the case, the performance requires the authors' consent. (2) RiksTV AS – RiksTV – distributes TV channels in the digital terrestrial network. The company is owned by NRK, TV2 and Telenor, and its business activities consist of selling various channel packages to subscribers all over Norway. RiksTV purchases broadcast content/channels from various broadcasters/producers of TV channels. (3) TONO SA – TONO – is a collection society managing the copyrights to musical works on behalf of the right holders. The management comprises the rights of TONO's interest holders – often referred to as members. Furthermore, TONO manages the rights of the members in similar organisations worldwide under reciprocal representation agreements. TONO collects fees for public performance of the music and passes on all revenues to the members. (4) Anyone who wishes to make copyrighted material available to the public must do so with the consent of the author or of a collecting society like TONO. The obtaining of such authorisation is often referred to as "clearance".
