10. Issues for discussion
Content
• How do we retain viewership and revenues for PSBs and commercial broadcasters to invest in
UK originated content?
• How do we increase funding for existing broadcasters and producers?
• What new monies can we target to increase investment in content? eg. New data sources,
second screen and in-app add-ons…
Platforms and technologies
• How do we tap into consumers’ willingness to spend more on entertainment through on-
demand, pay-as-you-go and other micropay enablers?
• How do we maintain or increase the UK’s net trade surplus from content exports?
• Issues from the floor…
