Tomorrow's delivery of audiovisual services : legal questions raised by digital broadcasting and mobile reception
This publication follows a dual goal: first, to survey the current state of digital television, and second, to focus on the latest forms in which media content is being offered. Linking these themes is the discussion of new approaches to regulation in media and telecommunications law. This involved asking the fundamental question of what regulation is necessary for new electronic media content services and what instruments might be appropriate here.--Publisher's description
