European mediamatics policies: Coping with convergence and globalization

Michael Latzer

Telecommunications Policy, 1998, vol. 22, issue 6, 457-466

Abstract: Growing convergence and globalization in the communications sector towards a changed societal communications system, which can be described as mediamatics1 (media, telematics), poses far-reaching challenges to policy makers worldwide. This article provides an overview of convergence strategies in Europe, puts it in the context of related initiatives, and highlights the partially hidden power politics of convergence, which, alongside arguments on the functional level, forms a crucial factor in national and supranational developments.
