Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Richard Webb:

Sky is an open platform currently for linear broadcasters, so we would suggest that if you have enough money for satellite capacity and an EPG channel number, you would be entitled to go on the Sky platform. Our problem at the moment is that its app service is kind of locked down and people have to negotiate access to that. I would like to see potential opportunities where, if someone has an app available, they should be allowed to go on Sky if it is of public interest or a certain level.
