The Future of TV - Linear vs. Streaming and beyond

Some of the recommendations from Senate committee report on Communications Legislation Amendment (Prominence and Anti-siphoning) Bill

@JohnsonTV

• The committee recommends that the Minister for Communications and the Australian Communications and Media Authority consider options for a phased approach to the proposed prominence framework and or a reduction to a 12-month timeframe.
• The committee recommends that the Minister for Communications, on advice from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts amend the bill to allow the review of the prominence framework to be conducted within two years of implementation, as necessitated by rapid technological change.
• The committee recommends that the Minister for Communications consider, either before or as part of the prominence framework review, other related reforms in the industry, to reflect the growing role of the internet, online service provision, and consumer behaviour.
• The committee recommends, subject to the recommendations contained earlier in this chapter, that the prominence provisions of the bill be passed.
