Putting the Carter before the horse ?
Lord Carter’s interim report makes a good start at identifying action areas and key issues across the huge and varied arena of communications and broadcasting markets in the UK. But NetStrategics believes he has a long way to go before he can substantiate any real ways forward which will win general support – not to mention suitable funding ! There is more than a whiff of sanctimonious attitudes to digital inclusion and the UK content industry – the market should be encouraged to tackle these issues itself, and overall the report puts the cart of intellectual neatness before the horse of market complexity.
