Opis

This text assesses the impact of digital broadcasting on regulatory practices in Europe. The current roles and responsibilities of nation states and the EU will have to respond to rapid technological and market developments. David Levy considers how these responsibilities are likely to be divided in the future, and which are the emerging issues and problems.
