New media. The likely development path and future regulatory requirements

Author

Abstract

There has been widespread discussion of how the perceived convergence of the telecommunications, media and information technology industries might affect the way we all lead our lives. This article suggests that on-line services, rather than the TV market, will drive the development of new media markets. In particular, it suggests that switched broadband networks will not be established on a wide scale for the foreseeable future. The article also identifies guiding principles to be used in defining regulatory regimes of the future. It suggests that conflicting consumer and commercial interests can only be balanced if a country's regulator is free to create a stable, yet flexible, regulatory environment.
