The Digital Economy Bill, U.K.
November 26th, 2009Take a look at the recent Telegraph on the British Government’s Digital Economy Bill. It aims to address long debated issues within the digital industries and of particular note is the new ‘watchdog’ role ISP’s will have to take on.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Seems to be a fairly typical approach by the British Government; the more oversight the better. I think Ms. Beaumont makes a valid point about the Bill protecting older business models whilst not helping new ventures. Only time will tell if the regulation has any drastic consequences. The debate continues.
