EC directorates fight turf battle over information highway

Article Abstract:

Two European Commission directorates are involved in a dispute which could affect progress on laws to regulate the information superhighway. The culture and audiovisual department and the internal market directorate both argue that they should control the information superhighway. There are concerns that more restrictions would be likely if the cultural directorate were to gain control. The internal market directorate is more concerned about economic aspects of the information superhighway than cultural aspects.

CLT, Bertelsmann still to resolve plans for digital TV

Article Abstract:

A merger between CLT and Bertelsmann's TV operations has been announced, although the future of European digital television remains uncertain. Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Telediffusion (CLT) is still no closer to realising its ambition to enter the digital pay-TV market in Germany. It is unclear whether Bertelsmann will permit CLT to pursue its plans for digital.
