Open door

Ofcom says some kind of public service broadcasting rival to Netflix/Amazon would be alright, in its latest report...

"PSBs have sought to join forces in the past. In 2007, they put forward a proposal ‘Kangaroo’ to distribute their on-demand programming together. It was rejected by competition authorities at the time out of a concern that it would weaken the position of other players in the market. Since then the market dynamics have changed significantly. The competition framework would need to take account of those developments were a similar proposal to be put forward today. Part of the broader context would be the importance of preserving public service broadcasting alongside a consideration of market impacts."
