What is the difference between a internet user and a t.v. audience
A Television Audience is seen as being very passive, becuase they just accept what they see on the t.v. they have no chance to interact or debate the content that they consume. the way in which people consume the media is more via emedia than old fashion 20 century motion t.v.

digital media report
RADIO
· The digital media report posted today stated that: “all analogue radio signals will be stopped, there will no longer be any analogue radio broadcasts being transmitted, the stoppage will happen in 2015 and the majority of media platforms will be switching on to digital.
· The switchover will be announced two years in advance, said the report. The government is hopeful this target can be met by the end of 2013.
· Today the government has also required that DAB must be comparable to current FM coverage, and DAB must reach 90% of all the population and all major roads before the upgrade timetable can begin.
· The government has today recommended that all new car radios sold in the UK by the end of 2013 should be digital.
· The report said DAB was "at least for the foreseeable future ... the right technology for the UK", with more than 9m receivers now sold in the UK.
· But it said DAB would be only one among a range of platforms including internet, mobile broadband and digital TV, for the distribution of digital radio.
LAND LINE USERS PAY £6 TO FUND SUPER FAST BROADBAND
A 50p-a-month levy on every copper telephone line will help pay for next-generation broadband for 90% of the population.
Fixed-line telephone users will pay £6 a year to fund the rollout of superfast broadband across the country.
The government wants everyone to be able to receive broadband of at least 2Mbps by 2012 as it puts more public services online.
The government has said they will use part of the BBC fee to help fund the ITV regional news service.
The more people do illegal filesharing it will eventually slow down their broadband connection.
Digital Britain: ISPs will have to cut filesharing by 70% under new proposals
Artists, musicians and record labels, said that it thinks the proposals will not succeed in achieving such a cut.
British ISPs will be required to cut illegal filesharing on their networks by 70% within a year under new powers set to be given to the communications regulator Ofcom.
Persistant file infringers will see their details passed onto right holders, where they can then sue them in court. The can also face bans.
If there is not a decrease of up to 70% after the first year, the government will use it's powers to introduce further measures, eg cutting down internet connection to offenders.
It may also take a very long time, as the government is only consulting, and the legislation will enact months after this
