UK authorities have scrapped plans for a report into the UK media sector and now plan to hold a series of seminars that will shape changes to the country’s new Communications Bill. Under previous plans a tentative report, or green paper, was to have been published.

This plan has now been shelved in favour of five seminars covering: investment in TV content; competition in the content market; the consumer perspective; maximizing the use of spectrum; and supporting the radio sector.

The changes will feed into a white paper, an official, authoritative report, which will be published early next year. The new Communications Bill will then be introduced before the end of the current parliament in 2015.
