The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), by stressing the reduction or elimination of entry barriers that prevent the fragmentation of market structure and an increase in the number of competitors, established competition and deregulation as the foundation for public policy towards the telecommunications and commercial broadcasting industries. By lowering barriers to entry, telecommunications markets should be expected to grow as new firms expand industry capacity and broaden the scope of consumer choice. Presumably, market concentration will decline as entry continues, eventually producing sufficient fragmentation that competitive rivalry will obviate the continuing need for regulation. Suppose, however, that the ongoing process of competitive entry becomes truncated and market concentration fails to continue falling even if market size continues to grow so that concentration appears to reach a lower bound. There is some evidence suggesting that such a lower bound may, in fact, exist in local telecommunications markets, notwithstanding the statutory provisions of the 1996 Act reducing barriers to entry. This Policy Paper draws from the analyses of competition developed over the last decade or so that offers new insights about the market size-market concentration relationship. The Policy Paper proposes that this new economic thinking is directly applicable to understanding the evolution of entry and competition in telecommunications markets and the growing concentration in commercial broadcasting markets following adoption of the 1996 Act. Moreover, this new economic thinking, unlike the more standard analyses of market structure and competition, provides guidance for public policy towards both telecommunications and broadcast markets.

New technology is revolutionizing broadcasting markets. As the cost of bandwidth processing and delivery fall, information-intensive services that once bore little economic relationship to each other are now increasingly related as substitutes or complements. Television, newspapers, telecoms and the internet compete ever more fiercely for audience attention. At the same time, digital encoding makes it possible to charge prices for content that had previously been broadcast for free. This is creating new markets where none existed before. How should public policy respond? Will competition lead to better services, higher quality and more consumer choice - or to a proliferation of low-quality channels? Will it lead to dominance of the market by a few powerful media conglomerates? Using the insights of modern microeconomics, this book provides a state-of-the-art analysis of these and other issues by investigating the power of regulation to shape and control broadcasting markets.

This book explores the nature of the music industries before and after the digital revolution from the point of view of the consumer, and explores the question of whether there is a role for competition policy intervention in the music industries. Considering the historically consolidated environment of the music industries, and their rapidly evolving business models in the twenty-first century, the author argues that there is a need for updated competition design to promote consumer welfare and competition in these markets. Opening a much-needed interdisciplinary dialogue across music studies, business, and law, the book applies business model literature to antitrust law in the context of the music industries. It offers a comprehensive history of encounters between the music industry and antitrust and regulatory authorities in the US, UK, and EU, from the payola scandals of the 1950s to the merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster in 2010, showing how even as business models in the industry have changed, it has repeatedly moved towards consolidation with little regulation. Drawing on this history, it considers how competition policy can foster innovation and safeguard consumer interests in the music markets of the future. Offering new analytical and methodological tools, this book is relevant to those studying the music industries from business, legal, and cultural perspectives.

The significant changes that have swept the television industry over the last two decades, most notably a shift to deregulation in broadcast media, prompt a discussion on how to ensure that meaningful content is available to the viewer. Television and Public Policy analyzes the current state of television systems in a selected group of countries by exploring the political, economic, and technological factors that have shaped the sector in such a short span of time. Consequently, by positioning the television sector within issues of media policy and the regulatory framework, the book questions what these trends mean for television, and the historical, political, and cultural role in our societies. Television and Public Policy distinguishes itself in several ways: *It is a global project in its comparative scope and subject area. Contributors represent countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. *It is contemporary and filled with information largely absent in current literature. *It offers original analysis of the contemporary television sector. This book speaks to a broad range of academics, postgraduate, and undergraduate students, and can serve as a key resource for courses ranging from media studies, to development studies, international relations, and law.

This study surveys the theoretical literature dealing with the economics of compatibility standard setting and, using that literature as an analytic framework, it investigates a number of cases of standard setting in the broadcasting industry. These cases include both point-to-multipoint services (e.g. broadcast television) and point-to-point services (e.g. cellular radio). The goal is a better understanding of (1) the conditions under which compatibility standards are likely to be established through market forces, (2) the role that government agencies should play in mandating standards or in other ways encouraging standard setting, and (3) the conditions under which compatibility among technologies is economically efficient. Among its conclusions are that formal standard setting, either by government or private bodies, may be especially important where users lack knowledge of the preferences of others and where no technology is clearly preferred, and that mandatory standard setting should be avoided during the times when the technologies in question are rapidly changing. In addition, the justification for mandatory standards is weakest in cases where a particular technology has widely varying uses.

Madely du Preez, Online Information Review Digital television is transforming both broadcasting and, as a result of convergence, the larger world of communications. The impending analogue switch-off will have a major impact on households all over the developed world. Digital Broadcasting considers the effects of digital television on the availability, price and nature of broadcast services in the Americas, Europe and Japan. It shows how this depends upon what platforms cable, satellite, fixed or wireless broadband countries have available for use and also upon government policies and regulatory interventions. The authors show how policies towards digital television are also closely linked with spectrum for example, whether to use spectrum released from analogue broadcasting for mobile communications or for broadcasting, including the newly developed mobile broadcasting. This is one of the key technological changes of the early 21st century and its development will affect many countries economies and societies. The book has an invaluably broad coverage of the economic and commercial issues involved in digital television in major regions and countries around the world. Regulators, executives and consultants in the broadcasting and communications sector will find much to engage them within the book. Researchers and academics of industrial and public sector economics will also find the book of great interest. Students in media studies or business courses can also use the book as additional reading.
