VOD regulation
Media Act Tracker
Additional regulation, in the form of Ofcom rules, to narrow the gap between the regulation of traditional broadcasters and VOD service providers.
OFCOM will be given powers to draft and enforce a new Video-on-demand Code, similar to the Broadcasting Code, to ensure that VoD service providers are subject to similar standards as linear services. This new regime will be aimed at the largest VoD services, including international players.
