UK

Abstract: This is a 10 page paper discussing the White Paper on Communications introduced in the UK in December 2000. The introduction of the White Paper on Communications brought about many regulations which were seen as needed in the new area of increase communication services in the UK. However, by easing some restrictions on the communication industry by allowing for more competition, it is seen by critics, and many within the media themselves as a way in which public broadcasting will eventually be beaten out by private power companies resulting in less selection for the consumer, higher rates, and little or no representation of local and non-commercial programming in the industry. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
