New perspectives for market definition: free and pay TV

9 February 2015
Università Commerciale “Luigi Bocconi”, Aula AS 03
Via Roentgen 1, Milano –  10.30 a.m

The investigations carried out by Antitrust and Regulatory authorities throughout Europe have so far basically confirmed the definition of a specific relevant pay-TV market, quite separate from the FTA market. Nevertheless, the technological evolution resulting from the digitalization of content and the phenomenon of convergence in communications markets (media, internet and telecommunications) have generated deep changes in the television industry. In the light of the above considerations, this workshop is focused on the relevant market in the television sector, with the aim to provide elements that encourage deeper reflection on the relevant market definition, taking into account the changing factors and thus better matching the evolution process underway.
