In recent years, the changing nature of audiovisual services has
had a significant impact on regulatory policy and practice. The
adoption of digital technology means that broadcasting, cable,
satellite, the Internet and mobile telephony are converging,
enabling each of them to deliver the same kinds of content and
allowing users to exercise much greater choice over the kind of
material that they receive and when they receive it. The essays
examine the implications for regulatory design, asking whether
there is still a role for traditional-style state controls, or
whether other techniques, such as competition in the market and
self-regulation, are more appropriate. They also explore how, in
the digital era, structural issues of media ownership and control
become problems of access and interconnection between services and
how content regulation focuses more on problems raised by the
interactions between providers and users, the relationship between
freedom of information and technologies to control it and the
international reach of the new media.
