Vivendi Universal (which controls France’s second largest mobile operator SFR) has stepped up pressure on French regulators to determine how mobile TV will be governed in the country. “It is not yet clear whether the new TV on mobile market will be regulated by France’s media watchdog, the CSA, or by the ARCEP telecoms regulator… “We want the regulator to act more quickly and make clear as soon as possible what the regulatory framework will be,” Vivendi Universal Chief Executive Jean-Bernard Levy told a telecoms conference in Montpellier. “France is losing speed.”
The issue of regulation promises to be a problem in a number of countries, although an equal number are taking steps to clarify the issue.
