In the context of the development of broadcasting policy my officials and I have cause, on a regular basis, to meet representatives of the various interests that comprise the broadcasting sector, including but not limited to commercial broadcasters, public service broadcasters and independent producers. At many of these meetings the issues to be addressed in the forthcoming broadcasting Bill, given their relative importance to the sector, have been raised and discussed in general terms.
