| Descripción: | Abstract: The British Labour government believes that Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) will facilitate future forms of production, services, and investment within the national and global economies. However, it remains unclear how the government can establish the appropriate national regulatory structures through which to supervise the virtual economy. The sector-specific definitions which have existed between the audiovisual and e-commerce industries are less appropriate and, with the expansion of distribution, audiovisual markets are assuming the characteristics of the telecommunications markets. This report will consider British public policy initiatives for the regulation of the converging ICTs and the audiovisual industries. It will pay attention to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI) jointly produced 1998 Green Paper Regulating Communications: Approaching Convergence in the Information Age. Résumé: Le parti travailliste britannique croit que les nouvelles technologies de l'information et de la communication (NTIC) aideront au développement de nouvelles formes de production, services et investissements au sein des économies nationale et globale. Il n'est pas encore clair, cependant, comment le gouvernement pourra établir des dispositifs réglementaires à l'échelle nationale qui permettront de surveiller l'économie virtuelle. À cet égard, il devient de moins en moins possible d'envisager l'audiovisuel et le commerce électronique comme étant des industries séparées. En effet, la distribution s'accroit tellement que les marchés de l'audiovisuel commencent à ressembler de plus en plus aux marchés de la télécommunication. Cet article prend en considération la politique publique britannique envers la réglementation des NTIC convergentes et des industries de l'audiovisuel. Il porte une attention particulière au livre vert produit conjointement en 1998 par le Department of Culture, Media and Sport et le Department of Trade and Industry, « Regulating Communications: Approaching Convergence in the Information Age » (« Réglementer les communications : aborder la convergence dans l'ère de l'information »). |
