A UK Government-sponsored report into the take-up of digital television appears to state the obvious. According to a BBC report, it says the Government must, “inform consumers about the benefits of digital TV” (which are not necessarily best promoted by the current players who want to sell expensive subscriptions) and particularly, “raise awareness of free-to-air services and equipment”, “deliver improved free-to-air public service broadcasting” and “ensure that a cheap free-to-air service is available”.
Fortunately it has given the go-ahead to the BBC to create some of those free-to-air services on TV, but I am concerned that they haven’t so far put the same emphasis on ensuring that public services are available and promoted through the interactive side of digital TV – I worry that “entry level” digital TV will concentrate on offering free-to-air TV channels rather than entry level connectivity to the Internet and interactive services.credit residential energy 2006colleges online acredited72 credit repairadvantage home line credit equityloans 3,000 for bad creditloans adverse uk creditcredit uk adverse mortgages0 credit card transfer rates Map
