“…In order to monetize this reciprocal web of strategic partnerships, the industry is seeking revenue opportunities in exploiting the digital content market. However, it can be argued that the increasing migration from universal access to conditional access systems may produce a polarized digital television market (Padovani, 2007). While valuable content is increasingly provided by conditional access platforms, high-quality audiovisual content is reserved for the proportion of people willing to pay for this content.…”

“…When the above discussed content are distributed over the national broadcast networks, especially to the countryside, there is a need for a comprehensive strategy ensuring non-discriminatory information distribution for all citizens and the equality of services over different platforms. In Italy, the digital switchover accelerated the duality of services; so that the better quality programm es are packaged for subscription and pay-per -view services, while lower quality and cheaply produced programmes are kept for digital terrestrial television networks (Padovani 2007). This duality is already taking place when only people with IPTV (subscription television) receive educational mat erials created with public funding.…”

Since 2010 Mongolian television has been in transition from analogue to digital. This article introduces the process of digital transition of television, and then discusses challenges television stations face in terms of the audiovisual market and policies. The Mongolian media market has structural constraints typical to those in the small media states. In addition, new chall enges like the financial dependency on the mining sector tax, an unsustainable number of politically affiliated commercial television stations, and the remnants of socialist institutional routines in media organizations also shape the television sector in Mongolia. The study also explores the state of public interest media services and opportunities due to the increasing convergence of television with the Internet. The arguments are built based on an analyses of existing legal and market studies, and in-depth interview data with professionals representing media, government and civil society institutions in Mongolia.

“…Simultaneously, valuable content such as major sports competitions and Hollywood movies is migrating from free-to-air (FTA) television towards pay-television platforms, an evolution that is likely to produce a polarised digital television market (Padovani 2007). This migration process towards digital television services is being pushed both by content providers and network operators that are seeking revenue opportunities in exploiting the digital content market.…”

As the digital switchover is the result of the dynamic interplay between economic, social and political interests, this article refl ects on the role of all stakeholders involved in the switch to digital television services. It aims to discuss the trade-off between public and private policy interests focussing on strategies for preparing the transition process and the digital take-off as well as on future opportunities that become available in the spectrum (digital dividend). Based on a comparative study amongst three European countries, it is demonstrated that government has played an important role in the development of the digital television landscape in the past, and it is argued why policy makers should continue to do this in the future. Instead of a solely market-driven approach, a strong plea is made for a better understanding of stakeholders' expectations in deploying public policies and business strategies concerning the digitised media landscape.
