Convergence• Broadcasting of TV content on a fixed telephone network requires a local cable TV
concession
• ANATEL recently suspended a limitation on the number of cable TV concessions which could be awarded in the 900 municipalities of Brazil
Two restrictions remain:
1. providers of public fixed telephony can only obtain cable TV concession outside the areas where they provide fixed telephony.
2. foreign ownership restrictions apply to companies offering cable TV services. At least 51% of the voting capital of Cable TV companies must be Brazilian owned (legal basis: Cable TV Law of 1995).
NB: A bill put forward in 2007 proposes to lift current restrictions on the provision of cable TV services by fixed telcos (approval still pending). Telcos cannot broadcast on IPTV (current offers are only for VoD). No restrictions on pay TV services on satellite.
Europe:Regulatory environment and policy debate
Broadband targets: EU
Coverage targets:(all Europeans should have)
take-up target:(% of households with above 100 Mbps)
2013 basic broadband access(speed not defined)
-
2020 at least 30 Mbps broadband 50%
Targets set out in the European Commission’s Digital Agenda
Three complementary measures to provide broadband for all EU citizens and stimulate the roll out of Next Generation Access networks:
• Commission communication on Broadband• Commission recommendation on NGA networks• Commission proposal for a multiannual Radio Spectrum Policy Programme (RSPP)
Policy targets in EU member states
