We live in a digital, connected environment but while the development of these new technologies has led to a greater capacity for content dissemination, it would not be true to say that broadcasting is dead, or that the rationales for content regulation had all fallen away. Indeed, now tvs are connected and hybrid, questions arise about the nature of the services delivered by that familiar box in our living room, and that nature of regulation applied to it.
This course then looks at the regulatory regime applied to broadcasting and video on demand (still the dominant models), but looks also at the boundaries with other services (such as online gambling and online games) to understand the distinctions, both in service and applicable regulatory model, and understand the difficulties in enforcement arising as a result of jurisdictional uncertainties. The jurisdictional framework is that of the EU.
