Title: Open Access beyond Cable: The Case for Interactive TV Research Question: How can regulatory frameworks ensure open access and non-discriminatory use of interactive TV networks, to prevent dominant platform operators from monopolizing the market? Methodology: The researchers analyzed the development of interactive TV in the US and Western Europe. They examined regulatory issues, market dynamics, and the potential impact of dominant platform operators on the growth and innovation of interactive TV services. They also studied high-profile cases such as the AOL/TW merger and the British Interactive Broadcasting case. Results: The study found that the nascent interactive TV market is at a critical juncture. Without regulations ensuring open access and non-discriminatory use, dominant platform operators are likely to leverage their control over network components and delivery infrastructure, leading to the creation of fragmented "walled gardens" offering limited content and applications. This could stifle innovation and limit user access to a wide range of information, entertainment, and educational services. Implications: The researchers argue that regulatory frameworks need to be put in place to prevent the monopolization of the interactive TV market. These frameworks should ensure open access to network components and promote standardization for terminal equipment. This would foster competition in services and applications, encourage decentralized innovation, and ultimately benefit users by providing them with greater access to diverse and innovative content and services.
