CAN MARKET FAILURE EXPLAIN THE EXISTENCE OF PUBLICLY FUNDED BROADCASTING SERVICE IN THE DIGITAL ERA?

Öz

Son yıllarda meydana gelen teknolojik gelişmeler televizyon yayıncılığı piyasası üzerinde önemli etkilere sahip olmuştur. Bu çarpıcı gelişmenin etkisi altında olan yayın sinyali iletim metodları değişime uğramıştır. Sınıflandırma olarak, televizyon yayıncılığı tam kamusal maldan klüp mala dönüşmekte ve digital çağda sifreleme sistemi hükümetlere negatif dışsallıkların üstesinden gelmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Yayıncılık spektrumları eskisi kadar kıt değildir. Bu yüzden, dijital çağda meydana gelen teknolojik gelişmelerden ötürü, piyasa başarısızlığı yaklaşımı kamusal televizyon yayıncılığının açıklanmasında meşru bir gerekçe olarak ileri sürülmemelidir.

CAN MARKET FAILURE EXPLAIN THE EXISTENCE OF PUBLICLY FUNDED BROADCASTING SERVICE IN THE DIGITAL ERA?

Öz

Over the last few decades, technological developments have had a considerable impact on the broadcasting market. The methods of transmission have altered where broadcasting signals have been subject to dramatic enhancements. In terms of classification, broadcasting shifted from a pure public good to a club good and in the digital era, encryption enables governments to deal with negative externalities in the broadcasting market. In fact, broadcasting spectrums are not as scarce as previously experienced, thus, due to technological developments, the market failure framework cannot be considered as a legitimate rationale for publicly funded broadcasting services in the digital era.
