This book examines the economic, political, and technological
forces that are shaping the future of broadcasting in advanced
industrialized nations by comparing the transition from analog to
digital TV in the US and Britain. Digital TV involves a major
reordering of the broadcast sector that requires governments to
rethink governance tools for the digital media era. By looking at
how the transition is unfolding in these nations, the book uncovers
the political underpinnings of the emerging governance regime for
digital communications and explores the implications of the
transition for the development of the Information Society in the US
and Europe. The findings challenge much conventional wisdom about
media deregulation and the globalization of communications. The
transition to digital TV has not weakened but rather reinforced
government control over broadcasting. Moreover, contrary to what
many globalization theories would predict, it has reinforced
preexisting differences in the organization of media across
nations.
