HOLLYWOOD OPPOSES PAN-EUROPEAN SATELLITE TV
The Hollywood studios are gearing up for a fierce
battle against European Commission plans to open up
satellite broadcasting throughout Europe - a move that
some international television executives fear could
dramatically change the way they do business with Euro
broadcasters. The proposal aims to open up
pan-European satellite broadcasting without frontiers
of any kind. That, some studio executives have said,
could profoundly affect they the way they do business
in the region - even changing the way they collect
license fees from broadcasters. The commission - the
European Union's executive body - has expressed
frustration that satellite broadcasters are targeting
national markets despite the technological ease with
which they could cover the European continent.
