  • Virgin Media Submission
    NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION VIRGIN MEDIA LIMITED OFCOM INVESTIGATION INTO THE UK PAY TV INDUSTRY1 SUPPLEMENTARY SUBMISSION OF 15 AUGUST 2008 1. INTRODUCTION: UK PAY TV CONSUMERS CAN BE BETTER SERVED 1.1 In January 2007, Virgin Media Limited ("Virgin Media"), together with British Telecommunications plc, Setanta Sport Holdings Limited and Top Up TV Europe Limited (together, "the Parties"), jointly made a submission to Ofcom demonstrating that competition in the UK pay TV market is not working effectively, and calling for Ofcom to make a market investigation reference to the Competition Commission. In this initial submission, a number of subsequent submissions and responses to numerous information request responses2, Virgin Media has provided voluminous evidence of market failure and highlighted specific areas of consumer detriment which result from this market failure. 1.2 Consumers would be demonstrably better off if steps were taken to remedy the features of the market which are preventing, restricting or distorting competition in the supply of pay TV in the UK. Against that background, this supplementary submission provides: (a) further evidence that consumers are not being well served by the current market structure; and (b) [CONFIDENTIAL], a more detailed explanation of the ways that Virgin Media could innovate (and the types of offerings consumers could expect to see) were the distorting features of the market corrected. 1.3 Ofcom has a discretion under section 131 of the Enterprise Act ("EA") to make a market investigation reference to the Competition Commission where: "… it has reasonable grounds to suspect that any feature, or combination of features, of a market in the United Kingdom for goods and services prevents, restricts or distorts competition in connection with the supply or acquisition of any goods or services in the United Kingdom or a part of the United Kingdom." 1.4 There can be no question such "reasonable grounds" have been established since the inception of this process approximately nineteen months ago.

  • Science, Mathematics & Computing Division
    SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS & COMPUTING DIVISION senior projects spring 2021 Ultrasonic Pollution: A New Kind of Noise Pollution Cillian Ahearn Advisor: Bruce Robertson All organisms use verbal communication to gain information about their surroundings, in order to hunt, feed their chicks, and call or warn one another. This communication is increasingly masked by anthropogenic noise pollution, but that might not be the only type of noise pollution to exist. Recently, there has been a rise into the research of organisms that use ultrasound, but virtually none into anthropogenic ultrasound and whether or not it has the possibility to mask ultrasonic vocalizations. As such, my study hopes to fill in this gap of knowledge by doing an exploratory study in a city, Hartford, CT, where I identified sources of man-made ultrasound, as well as their frequency ranges. These ranges were then compared against ultrasonic vocalizations of mice, Richardson’s ground squirrels, and tomato plants. My study found that the more narrow a biological frequency range is, the more at risk it is to be fully masked. This implicates ultrasound as a potential new source of noise pollution that should be mitigated as part of conservation efforts to preserve the environment. Road to a Resilient Financial Sector: Impacts of the Dodd-Frank Act on Systemic Risk Muhammad Ali Advisors: Steven Simon & Guatam Sethi The U.S. financial sector has been plagued by crises in the last few decades. The Dodd-Frank Act was the most substantial set of reforms in recent history aimed at making the financial sector more resilient and stable than before.

  • Annex 3 Barriers to Entry at the Channel Provider Level
    NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION ANNEX 3 BARRIERS TO ENTRY AT THE CHANNEL PROVIDER LEVEL 1. Introduction 1.1 Ofcom puts forward the proposition there are insurmountable barriers to entry to markets for premium sports and premium film channels that it has defined, principally because other operators cannot compete with Sky for the rights which comprise key inputs in relation to operating in those markets. This argument is central to its conclusion that Sky is likely to be dominant in those “markets”. Ofcom’s arguments on barriers to entry, however: (a) are based on an unreasonable benchmark for entry; (b) are not balanced – they focus only on a set of potential impediments to entry and do not consider a large range of factors that facilitate entry; and (c) are based on theories that are both flawed and contradicted by readily available evidence. Accordingly, Sky considers that it is not possible to rely on the arguments that Ofcom has made in support of a proposition that Sky does not face effective competition for programming rights. 2. Ofcom’s argument 2.1 Ofcom argues that there are significant barriers to entry to the wholesale markets for the supply of premium sports and premium film channels.1 In relation to sports rights, Ofcom argues that these derive from Sky’s “incumbency advantages”,2 or ‘first-mover advantages’ as we might also call them, in bidding for rights when they become available. Ofcom argues further that because rights become available periodically, a potential entrant must repeatedly outbid Sky for rights, over a potentially significant period of time, and is likely to incur losses during that period.3 2.2 In relation to film rights, Ofcom argues that Sky’s contracts with the six major Hollywood studios amount to a significant barrier to entry.

  • Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe Introduction
    Activity – Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe Introduction: A blackbody is a term used to describe the light given by an object that only gives off emitted light, in other words it doesn’t reflect light. Of course, in order for such an object to emit light it must get hot. In this activity, you are going to observe the nature of light given off by hot objects and determine if there is an empirical relationship between an object’s temperature and the light emitted. These are some helpful video links which provide an excellent foundation of knowledge of Blackbody Radiation. Crash Course (First Half of Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kb1VT0J3DE&list=PL8dPuuaLjXtN0ge7yDk_UA0ldZJdhwkoV&index=44&t=438 s Professor Dave’s Summary on Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BXvc9W97iU PHET’s Manipulative Graph of Spectral Power Density vs. Wavelength https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/blackbody-spectrum Draw a graph depicting classical blackbody radiation, (Y-axis is Spectral Power Density, X-axis is Wavelength). Complete the graph correlating the spectral power density to wavelength for the sun, as demonstrated on the Phet activity. Describe the correlation between wavelength of light emitted with the average kinetic energy of particles within a substance. Temperature in Kelvin for Red Light: Temperature in Kelvin for Yellow Light: Temperature in Kelvin for Violet Light: Questions: Dianna Cowern with PBS has an enthusiastic video explaining the origin of quantum topics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXfrncRey-4 What does the ultraviolet catastrophe refer to, and why does the curve collapse on the left-hand side of the graph? (At what approximate wavelength does the curve drop)? What is Max Planck’s explanation for the ultraviolet catastrophe, and how does it lead to the Planck equation? (Provide Planck equation and Planck’s constant).
