TV Without Frontiers must go back to the drawing board, says hi-tech industry
EU Commission warned of the consequences to the European content and new media industry if proposed plans to update the TVWF Directive with a new Audio Visual Content Directive go ahead
Intellect and the Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG) have today issued a joint plea to the EU Commission, asking it to withdraw its commitment to publish a draft Audio Visual Content Directive by the end of the year. The trade association for the UK hi-tech industry and the Government’s advisory group on broadband consider the proposed approach to policy regulation to be totally unworkable, and an attempt by the EU to regulate the internet via the backdoor.
