Overseas Visit

In February 2005, the BA has conducted a successful visit to the United Kingdom (UK). Led by the BA Chairman, a BA delegation visited the UK from 21 February to 25 February to examine the latest development of the broadcasting sector in the UK. The BA had a very useful discussion with senior members of the Office of Communications, the newly converged regulator, on the challenges facing the unified regulator in the multimedia age and their gradual shift from placing emphasis on active regulation based on prescriptive rules to economic and competition-based regulation. The delegation also learnt about the progress of digital terrestrial television and the latest development of the UK broadcasting industry through meetings with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Advertising Standards Authority and major broadcasters such as the ITV plc. and BSkyB.
