TV viewers may get more freedom subscription – NU.nl

He wrote Wednesday to the House.

With this amendment of the Media Act, it is possible to provide flexible TV packages with far fewer channels. A TV subscription can therefore be cheaper.

According to Dekker Netherlands is the only country in Europe with the requirement of a minimum number of channels in a TV package. On the other hand, is “a la carte” television, where consumers themselves choose which channels they want, not much.



Compose

A study by the Commissioner of the media shows that the majority of TV viewers (63 percent) of channels themselves will compose, mainly because it would lead to a cheaper subscription. “A mandatory standard market imposes unnecessary rules and additionally limits the scope to offer several variants,” Dekker writes.

“I am therefore of the opinion that consumers nor market participants will benefit from the present system. Therefore, it is my commitment to unleash the legal requirement of a standard, so the market free rein gets involved . on the needs of consumers “

Dekker takes after evaluating the omroepdistributiewet later a final decision on the package of channels this year
