Abstract

Until recently, there was a sharp barrier between telecommunications as point-to-point voice and data applications, and broadcasting as point-to-multipoint video/audio applications. Progressively, over the past decade, this distinction has been blurred and convergence between the media and telecommunications industries has become inevitable, both m terms of technology and markets. The problem is that the two industries involved, the teiecommunications industry and the mass media industry, have highly different regulatory structures. In other words, ‘regulatory convergence’ is extremely complex. This article examines the implications of this and what might be done.
