The real Freeview?
Expect to hear most media policy talk this year geared toward television over internet protocol, or IPTV or television over broadband. You know, ‘the future’.
Today’s bit of news tracks how IPTV fits into the regulatory scheme that requires UK viewers to pay the license fee. The Times suggests this may be a problem (meaning, viewers using a PC might not legally be required to pay the license fee) and - predictably - finds government officials who seem to cloud the issue even more. (regulatory certainty?)
This issue is not completely new: Lindsay Stirton has been raising/discussing this issue since at least 2002.
