Resumo
As technology develops, so must the definition and regulation of television be updated. Broadcasting cannot be considered a “public service” to be granted by the state to just a few operators via discretionary ‘beauty contests’. Rather the freedom of broadcasting should be the cornerstone of the sector. Commercial operators should not be subject to the obligation of fostering (“quotas”) or financing European programmes. Public broadcasters are not justified under any circumstance. The state’s role is not to offer a mix of entertainment and information. Its duty is much more to foster as much competition as possible, to fight against undue media concentration and to safeguard the rights and values involved in broadcasting.
