BBC -
’Nothing that this government does will compromise either the independence of
the BBC or the quality of its output’; ‘…core to the success of British
broadcasting overall has been not just a strong BBC, but also strong
competition to the BBC.’ / ‘Promoting a digitally-enabled BBC is one of the
core purposes of the BBC, and this will bring services like the iPlayer within
the reach of many more people.’ / ‘fundamentrally, they(IFNC) were about
subsidising the existing regional news system in a way that would have blocked
the emergence of new and vibrant local media models fit for the digital age’;
‘I am today announcing that the savings from the IFNC pilots will be used
instead to support the market testing plans for the roll-out of superfast
broadband’; ‘significantly relaxed to allow local newspapers to own local
commercial radio stations and set up local TV stations as well as benefit from
greater economies of scale’
New plans to ensure a vibrant local media market in
the future announced
Mr Hunt has appointed Nicholas Shott, Head of
UK Investment Banking at Lazard, to conduct an independent commercial
assessment of local TV over the summer. Following this assessment, DCMS will
set out a local media action plan due to be published in the autumn

ITV Contract Rights Renewal: Press
release and Final
Report
“ITV’s
unrivalled ability to deliver large audiences on ITV1 means that the Contracts
Rights Renewal (CRR) undertakings are still needed to prevent the channel from
exploiting this position to the detriment of advertisers and other commercial
broadcasters, the Competition Commission (CC) has concluded today.”; “The CRR
undertakings allow buyers of advertising airtime to renew their existing
contracts with ITV, adjusted to reflect the change in ITV1’s audience share. In
its final report on the undertakings, the CC has confirmed that the definition
of ITV1 in the CRR undertakings will now be varied so that audience share on
time shifted (+1) and high-definition ITV1 channels can be included in the CRR
calculations. The CC has also renewed its call for an overall review of the
system for selling television advertising.”

C-280/08 P Deutsche Telekom v Commission
事業法のなかに真に競争法の要素が入っていたかの問題で、Trinko事件に通じるケース/margin squeezeの初めての最高裁事例とも言及…’As-Efficient-Competitor-Test’の当てはめ・妥当性('In my view the General Court was right to hold that
the As-Efficient-Competitor-Test is relevant not only where the abuse consists
in the difference between the dominant undertaking’s prices and costs, but also
where it is between its wholesale and retail prices. Indeed, I consider that it
is difficult to fault the General Court’s analysis in paragraphs 186 to 194 of
the judgment under appeal, since it clearly follows from relevant precedents
and from the principle of legal certainty that the As-Efficient-Competitor-Test
is the appropriate test in the context of the present case. Moreover, a large
body of opinion holds that, in general, the As-Efficient-Competitor-Test
constitutes an appropriate criterion.’(para.49))

on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in order to secure a coordinated approach,
involving both copyright owners and ISPs. Should those initial measures fail to
significantly reduce levels of unlawful file sharing the Secretary of State may
require that ISPs implement technical measures against serious repeat

to the rights of national competition authorities in proceedings involving
appeals against their decisions. The Advocate General concluded that Regulation

written observations on arguments raised in appeal proceedings against a decision
made by them, and to themselves present arguments in fact and in law. Such

rejects BBC proposal for online federation of public service broadcasters
(一部抜粋)Trust concerns: …“The proposed public service
activities were of considerable strategic significance but it was not clear
whether they were the best way of increasing the public value of iPlayer for
the benefit of licence fee payers. This issue ought to be re-assessed in the
course of the broader ongoing strategic review, in which the BBC Trust and
Executive are looking at the post-switchover world of 2012 and beyond to develop
a clear strategy for what kind of BBC could best serve the public, and best
support the media sector” ; ” The degree of co-operation envisaged between
major UK content producers would need to be looked at in terms of its possible
effects on competition.”

”In sum, the Commission

programming.”, “”We hold the 30% subscriber limit is arbitrary and capricious
because the Commission failed adequately to take account of the substantial
