Revolution? What revolution?
Article Abstract:
The greatest impact of digital television in the UK will initially be on those involved in marketing, who will be responsible for inventing names for the around 300 channels that will eventually be available. Those who have made a significant commitment to digital television believe that it will have a substantial impact on the lives of ordinary people. However, it is possible that new digital technologies will be used in ways which cannot possibly be predicted. It is vital to ensure that digital broadcasting is strictly regulated, ensuring objectivity and decency.
