  4. BUSINESS MODELS: CONTENT & DISTRIBUTION • Underlying question of the “philosophy” of the digital economy : what role of content? • Some media companies facing distribution issues for the first time, just as some telcos are having to think about content for the first time • ‘Content is King’ – so where is the consumer? • USP going forward – original material?

  5. REGULATION OF CONTENT • For ‘linear’ media - content quotas not questioned/reviewed in Audiovisual Media Services • For non-linear, general recognition that less intrusive regulation is needed • A key issue therefore held over to next revision of the directive: What public intervention in the content market is appropriate in the digital economy?

  6. STARTING ASSUMPTIONS • The current level of intervention is inappropriate/unnecessary • But there will be market failures in the digital world. They will however differ from the (assumed) market failures in the analogue era: • Children´s television • Training • New talent • Regional programming? Is there a will to devise new schemes to meet these market failures?

  7. THANK YOU – ANY QUESTIONS?
