  • Will Broadband TV Shape the Future of Broadcasting?
    BROADBAND TV WillBroadband TV shape the future of broadcasting? Franc Kozamernik EBU Lieven Vermaele VRT Broadband Television (BTV) 1 is a new emerging platform for distributing digital television channels to home consumers using a TV screen. This article focuses on BTV services which use the conventional telephone infra- structure (i.e. twisted-pair copper lines). These BTV services are often called ADSL TV or DSL TV. Other delivery mechanisms such as coaxial cable, power line communications (PLC), fibre (FTTH) and wireless (UMTS, Wi-Fi and WiMAX) are not covered here. If commercially successful, Broadband TV may complement traditional DTV services – which use satellite, cable and terrestrial delivery – and may even evolve into a fourth mass-market platform for digital television services. Many telcom and cable operators are in the process of trialling BTV infrastructure and expecting that it could evolve into the next emerging market of 2005 and beyond. Some initial experiences show that the technology is quite mature, the business models potentially sound and the prospective subscribers enthusiastic. Some market analysts even anticipate explosive growth of the broadband television market. This article attempts to provide some background to BTV developments in Europe and outlines the principal areas of interest such as: (i) the current status of BTV trials, (ii) issues relating to the network and media technologies used, (iii) some content-related issues and, last but not least, (iv) some regulatory matters. Background BTV makes use of a television set rather than a PC. There are multiple commercial reasons for this. First of all, TV sets are much more popular domestic appliances than PCs.

  • Progress in the Must-Offer Debate? Exclusivity in Media and Communication
    LEGAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE EUROPEAN AUDIOVISUAL OBSERVATORY Progress in the Must-offer Debate? Exclusivity in Media and Communication by Alexander Scheuer and Sebastian Schweda EDITORIAL “We’re in a good position!” This increasingly popular phrase is meant to transmit a sense of optimism; optimism that a company or branch of industry is in a position to spot opportunities in new markets or optimism that success will continue despite changes in the market. The markets involved may be defined according to geographical, technical or content-related criteria. In the audiovisual sector, for example, broadcasters are currently battling it out for a share in the various forms of distribution of audiovisual media services and the new markets that are being created as a result. In order for a company that wants to provide audiovisual media services to be well positioned, what it needs more than anything else is content that is of interest to consumers. The key to success for such a company is its ability to offer such content on an exclusive basis, in other words if it owns an exclusive right to distribute it. At the same time, however, it must also position itself in the distribution market, for it needs to send the content to the customer in order to convert its exclusive right into financial reward. This is the theme tackled by this IRIS plus, which looks at the various dimensions of exclusivity in media and communication. This IRIS plus considers the current debate on whether the obligation to transmit (must-carry) certain content should be replaced or at least supplemented by an obligation to offer such content (must-offer).
