Digital Britain
In this document the Government sets out a programme of action designed to position the UK as a long-term leader in communications, creating an industrial framework that will fully harness digital technology.

This approach seeks to maximise the digital opportunities for all citizens. The report contains: (1) an analysis of the levels of digital participation, skills and access needed for the digital future, with a plan for increasing...
The governance and regulation of the BBC
In this report into the governance and regulation of the BBC, the Communications Committee finds too many different processes for varying types of complaint, making it very difficult for viewers, listeners and users of BBC content to know where to go to complain. The BBC needs to provide a clear overview of how the complaints process works and publish this in one place on its website and there needs to be a clearing house to direct people through the complaints process. The confusion is in part because the BBC Trust and Ofcom have 'overlapping jurisdiction' in several areas of content regulation, with the exception of issues of impartiality and accuracy and commercial references, which the B...
Further Issues for BBC Charter Review
This report focuses on a range of issues relating to the BBC Charter, including the current bid for the TV licence fee, the link to the retail price index, and the need for transparency in the licence fee negotiations; the costs of digital switchover and spectrum charging; the BBC World Service and the launch of an Arabic language television channel; the 'Out of London' strategy for more regional broadcasting and the proposal to move several BBC departments to Manchester; sports broadcasting and the regulation of listed events; religious programming and the BBC's public service remit.

Public Service Broadcasting
This report responds to the current crisis in public service broadcasting, particularly in the advertiser-funded television sector. This has been caused by three factors: (1) the move from analogue to digital broadcasting means that established forms of support are losing value; (2) viewers are increasingly taking advantage of technological developments that provide alternatives to conventional broadcasting, such as the internet and the many commercial channels; (3) the speed and severity of the current economic recession. The Committee believes that the commercially-funded public broadcasters - ITV, Channel Four, Five and BSkyB - should continue to provide an alternative to the BBC, which s...

Television
This inquiry was prompted by requests from broadcasters, including BBC and ITV, for a review of the rules of broadcasting coverage of Parliament. The rules were framed from the start in a restrictive way on the basis that it would be easier to relax them than to introduce restrictions once broadcasting had become a part of the parliamentary landscape. The Committee's recommendations include: simplification of the rules setting out guidelines on picture direction, so that more is left to the judgment of the director in the control room; split screen shots remain unnecessary and should remain forbidden, but the existing rules on panning shots and zoom shots seem redundant and can be removed; a...
