France's ministry of culture has published a report on connected TV, underscoring the fact that the technology combines very regulated audiovisual content and unregulated internet content, raising new regualory questions. For example, how can young users' protection be assured when content sources become nearly infinite? How can audiovisual creation financing be guaranteed when more and more professional media content is sold by websites located outside France? The 13 propositions of the report commissioned in June is based on over 60 meetings with representatives of the whole sector: writers, producers, publishers, distributors (including telecom operators), manufacturers, professional associations, regulators, consumers and intenet user communities. The 28-page report promotes the use of open standards for maximum interoperability and to support as a priority content best adapted for online consumption, such as short format content.
