GLOSSARY Broadcasting A term referring to the distribution of information using radio, television, internet and intranet or webcasting. Digital Broadcasting An alternative method of broadcasting the images and sound that appears on television screen. Rather than being broadcast as a continuous analogue wave, the signals are sent as discrete bits of information. Digital television improves picture quality and reduces problems of ghosting and interference. Integrated Digital This is a television set with built-in digital capabilities Television to receive and display digital TV signals. Set-Top-Box A set-top-box for digital television receives and decodes digital television signals in a form suitable for display on analogue television set or other display devices, e.g. computer monitors or projection screens. Standard Definition One category of display format for digital TV Television transmission providing picture quality similar to off- air analogue TV with good reception quality. Electronic Programme Is the electronic version of a printed programme Guide guide. High Definition TV One category of display format for digital TV transmission providing a higher quality display. Simulcast Period This is a period whereby the existing free to air broadcasters will simulcast i.e. broadcast operators both analogue and digital will have to co-exist before the switch-off of analogue broadcasting. Viewers will therefore continue to be able to use their current analogue TV sets to receive analogue TV signals during the simulcast period. i Digital Television Set This is a television set with built in digital capabilities to receive and display digital television signals. Integrated digital television sets are generally distinguished by wide screens, high level audio capability and high quality displays. They do not require a set-top-box to receive digital television signals. ii LIST OF ACRONYMS AM Amplitude Modulation CD Compact Disc DAB Digital Audio Broadcasting DSTV Digital Satellite Television DTT Digital Terrestrial Television DTV Digital Television DVB Digital Video Broadcasting DVB-T Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial DVB-S Digital Video Broadcasting Satellite EPG Electronic Programme Guide FM Frequency Modulation HDTV High Definition Television ITU International Telecommunication Union MF Medium Frequency MHz Megahertz MoCT Ministry of Communications and Transport NICT National Information and Communications Technologies Policy NTSC National Television Systems Committee PAL Phase Alternation Line PMO Prime Minister's Office SDTV Standard Definition Television TCRA Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority T-DAB Terrestrial Digital Audio Broadcasting TV Television TVT Televisheni ya Taifa UK United Kingdom USA United States of America VHF Very High Frequency ZBC Zanzibar Broadcasting Commission iii TANZANIA COMMUNICATIONS REGULATORY AUTHORITY (TCRA) CONSULTATION DOCUMENT ON SWITCHOVER FROM ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL BROADCASTING IN TANZANIA PRESENTED BY: DIRECTOR GENERAL TCRA August 8,2005 1.0. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The ITU Member States at its Session 2001 and 2002 agreed to start planning of terrestrial digital broadcast for the combined planning area covering the European Broadcast Area, the African Broadcasting area, and the countries outside the African Broadcasting area which are parties to the Regional Broadcasting Agreement Geneva 1989 planning process is expected to be ready by July 2006. 1.2 Digital broadcasting which is in various stages of development and implementation throughout the world has the capacity to allow substantial expansion of broadcasting services in Tanzania, bring greater choice both to free-to- air and subscription or pay per view channels. 1.3 The National Information and Communication Technologies Policy of 2003 (NICT) recognizes the development of convergence of technologies in its broad objectives and expresses the need to "encourage regulatory organs to jointly investigate and respond to the challenge of convergence and newly emerging technologies while drawing inputs from the general public and key stakeholders" (NICT Policy 2003 pg.17). The Broadcasting Services Policy of 2003 does not provide for policy guidelines on how digital broadcasting should be adopted and developed. 1.4 Given the above policy deficiencies and in recognition of the benefits ensuing from the application of digital technology in broadcasting, the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) has initiated a process of public consultation to consider a policy framework for adoption of digital broadcasting in Tanzania. The current technological advancements in broadcasting necessitate the use of digital systems in the studio and transmission for both radio and television in place of analogue system. 2.0. OBJECTIVE OF THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT 2.1 The objective of this Consultation Document is threefold: 2.1.1 to provide recommendations for a framework for policy formulation on digital broadcasting in Tanzania. 1 2.1.2 to provide recommendations for review of legislation with a view to incorporate legal framework for digital broadcasting. 2.1.3 to provide recommendations for licensing framework that accommodates digital broadcasting. 2.2 In view of the foregoing, recommendations have been put forward at the end of this document. TCRA welcomes comments on the recommendations and the Consultation Document as a whole. Comments should be sent to the Director General before 30th November 2005 using the following contacts: Post: Director General Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority Mawasiliano House Ali Hassan Mwinyi/Nkomo Road P.O. Box 474 DAR ES SALAAM. Fax: +255 22 2116664 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com 2.3 The TCRA reserves the right to make public, all or parts, of any submissions made in response to this Consultation Document and reveal the identity of source. Any material claimed to be commercially confidential would need to be clearly marked. The TCRA would take such marking into account in making its decision on whether to publish the material or not. 3.0. THE BROADCASTING LANDSCAPE IN TANZANIA 3.1. The Role of Broadcasting 3.1.1 The broadcasting sector is not comparable to any other sector as it plays a central role in modern democratic societies notably in the development and dissemination of social values. 2 3.1.2 Broadcasting offers a unique combination of features. Its efficient and effective widespread penetration provides almost complete coverage of the population across different broadcasting networks; provision of substantial quantities of news and current affairs together with cultural programming mean that it both influences and reflects public opinion and social cultural values. 3.1.3 Switchover to digital broadcasting may affect this general interests. It will be important to ensure the continuing of availability of a variety of television services without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunities to the whole population. In particular this is a precondition for public service broadcasters to fulfil their public mandates. 3.1.4 Broadcasting has a strong tradition of policy intervention than other information and communication sectors like telecommunications where the impact of liberalization has been greater. This is justified by the political and social relevance of broadcasting content which cause for the enforcement of minimum quality and pluralism requirement. 3.1.5 Policy intervention is even greater in the case of terrestrial broadcasting because of its heavy use of spectrum, a scarce public resource, and the perception associating terrestrial broadcasting with universal free to air TV services. 3.2 Major Players and Their Role 3.2.1 The present broadcasting landscape in Tanzania is dominated by the public service broadcaster, Radio Tanzania, especially on sound broadcasting. 3.2.2 The television sub-sector is dominated by commercial Broadcasters who started commercial broadcasting in 1994, while the public service broadcaster, Television ya Taifa (TVT) started on 15th March 2000 with one channel. 3 The details of the broadcasting stations are provided in the Annex to this document. 3.2.3 Terrestrial broadcast is the only means which is accessible to a large population across the country. Satellites broadcast and pay TV accessed by high class people. 3.3 The Analogue System of Broadcasting 3.3.1 Analogue format means sound and pictures are converted into continuously varying electric signals which after transmission, are back to sound and pictures by radio and television receivers. 3.3.2 The analogue television adopted by Tanzania is the 625 lines/ 50 fields per second colour television system known as Phase Alternation Line (PAL). 3.3.3 In countries like USA and Japan, the 525line /60 fields per second colour television system, i.e National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) was adopted. These systems were developed in the 1950s/60s. 3.4 Shortcomings of the Analogue System 3.4.1 The sound broadcasting used by incumbents at present are the Very High Frequency (VHF) and Freguency Modulation (FM) and Medium Frequency and Amplitude Modulation (MF/AM) that use analogue transmission technology. This technology has its own technical limitations as follows:- (i) Inefficient use of radio spectrum. (ii) Unreliable system performance under mobile reception conditions. (iii) Susceptibility to interference (iv) Inefficient system of editing broadcasting content 4 3.5 The Adoption Of Digital System 3.5.1 In Tanzania, operators of broadcasting services have been slowly but steadily adopting digital system of broadcasting especially for studio equipment. 3.5.2 Production and on Air studios have been and are being upgraded, stage by stage, with digital facilities phasing out analogue equipment. 3.5.3 Transmission has remained largely analogue due to the fact that operators cannot go full digital because digital penetration in terms of digital receivers is non existent. 3.5.4 Some operators have installed analogue transmitters that are up gradable to digital output. 3.5.5 Despite these developments the government has not adopted a policy framework to guide development of digital broadcasting in the country. 4.0. DIGITAL BROADCASTING Digital broadcasting comprises Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and Digital Television (DTV). 4.1 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) 4.1.1 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), or Digital Radio Broadcasting refers to the over-the – air transmission and reception of radio signals using digital technology. This technology makes possible the reproduction of sound that rivals the quality of compact discs with the combined potential of providing new kinds of broadcasting services to the public as well as non-programming services such as paging and datacasting. 4.1.2 For the listener, digital radio offers interference free reception and the ability to receive data, graphics and text. For instance, in addition to playing music, a DAB 5 receiver could display the name of the artist and the lyrics of the song or even traffic and news briefs. As the system matures, listeners will be able to receive more sophisticated services such as maps, directions, visual traffic reports and other types of graphics. 4.1.3 For the Broadcaster, DAB provides a means of reaching listeners with sound quality on an equal footing with a CD player and the ability to offer additional revenue-creating services. It is expected that the transmission of digital radio will be cheaper than present cost of transmitting radio signals in either AM or FM mode. 4.2 Digital Television (DTV) 4.2.1 Digital Television (DTV) is an alternative method of broadcasting the images and sound that appear on television screen. Despite of being broadcast as a continuous analogue wave, the signals are sent as discrete bits of information. Digital Television improves picture quality and reduces problems such as ghosting and interference 4.2.2 Digital television is also capable of providing new features and services such as high definition television (HDTV) programmes, interactive services and mobile reception, wide- screen pictures, surround sound audios, multiple viewing angles, multi-channelling, closed-captioning and electronic programme guides (EPG). Digital television may be transmitted via radio-communications i.e terrestrial, satellite, cable and broadband telecommunications network. 4.3 Standards for Digital Receivers 4.3.1 Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial (DVB-T) has been adopted to be used in the planning areas of region one 6 which includes Europe, Africa, Middle East and the Islamic Republic of Iran. 4.3.2 There are three reception modes applicable to DVB-T:- (i) Portable reception (indoor/outdoor); (ii) Fixed reception (roof top) (iii) Mobile reception 4.3.3 DVB-T can operate in frequency ranges: Band III 174-230 Mhz Band IV 470 – 582 Mhz Band V 582 – 862 MHz 4.3.4 Terrestrial Digital Audio Broadcasting (T-DAB) has also been adopted to be implemented in planning area of Region one. T-DAB will share operating frequency range in Band III with DVB-T. 4.3.5 T-DAB standards enable easier frequency planning and transition from analogue to digital broadcast environment. Therefore, DVB-T and T-DAB standards are most suitable for the Tanzania environment and should be implemented. 4.4 Advantages of Digital Broadcasting 4.4.1 The digital broadcating has advantages over the conventional VHF/FM and MF/AM services which suffer from technical drawbacks such as signal interference. Unlike analogue systems, digital technology is resistant to noise and interference. 4.4.2 Digital technology supports single frequency network operation. This permits substantial frequency economy and allows more radio services to be transmitted. The same bandwidth for transmitting one analogue programme channels can accommodate at least four 7 digital standard definition television (SDTV) programme channels. 4.4.3 Furthermore, digital television broadcasting will bring benefits to viewers, including the possible increase in the number of television programme channels, introduction of define HDTV progrmmes, television reception on the move and new interactive multimedia applications. 4.5 World Experience 4.5.1 Digital TV was introduced in 1994 in the US and in 1996 in Europe, first on satellite and soon after on cable and terrestrial networks based on Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) specifications. 4.5.2 Digital terrestrial radio broadcast started in 1995 based on the Eureka-147 that uses Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) standards. But there are few and expensive digital receivers on the market. 4.5.3 Proposed digital switchover dates in other countries: • EU 2012 • Italy 2006 • Finland 2006 • Japan 2011 • Germany 2010 • US 2007 • Sweden 2008 • Australia 2009 4.6 Driving Forces for adoption of Digital Broadcasting in Tanzania 4.6.1 The world is moving from analogue to digital broadcasting and Tanzania is part of that process, it has also to change and accommodate new technologies. 8 4.6.2 The local market has already attracted co-existence of analogue and digital technologies in studio and satellite uplinks. Cases in point include, Radio Tanzania, Television ya Taifa, Star Television, Radio Free Africa, Radio One and Independent Television.. 4.6.3 There exists a political will for adoption of digital broadcasting in the country. This has been demonstrated by government endorsement of TCRA's converged licensing framework, which is technological neutral. 5.0. SWITCHOVER TO DIGITAL BROADCASTING 5.1 Switchover 5.1.1 Switchover refers to migration process from analogue to digital broadcasting starting with the introduction of digital and ending with the switch off of analogue broadcasting system. 5.1.2 Many routes are possible in terms of the speed and length of the process, the parties involved and the degree of government intervention. 5.1.3 Each country follows its own path often influenced by the market and broadcasting operators. Ideally the final analogue switch off should take place when digital broadcasting has achieved wide spread penetration and very few analogue homes remain. 5.2 Benefits of Switchover 5.2.1 The benefits of digital broadcasting some are associated with the switchover process itself, others are achieved at the end, by stopping analogue broadcasts. 5.2.2 All benefits derive from the possibility of processing and compressing digital data, making much more efficient use of network capacity than is the case with analogue signals. 9 5.2.3 The Tanzania society can exploit the benefits in several ways: (i) Introduction of new enhanced services It will enable licensees to offer new or improved broadcasting services, i.e additional programming, programme related enhancement, better picture and audio quality, data and interactive services, including information society and internet like services. (ii) Efficient spectrum usage Switch off of analogue terrestrial TV permit the release of several hundreds megahertz (MHz) in the VHF and UHF frequency bands which could be reallocated to various uses for convergence services for instance mobile telephone, terrestrial broadcasting and such as mobile datacasting. (iii) Enhanced competition Increasing market competition and innovation because it attracts potential new entrants at different levels in the value-chain, for instance, new broadcasters or developers of interactive applications. (iv) Increased transmission possibilities Switchover implies specific benefits for some categories of markets players by reduction of transmission costs, opportunity for increased sales of digital receivers, easier storage and processing of content. (v) Wide consumer choice Digital transmission delivers discrete signals resulting in better visual and sound quality. The 10 consumer will have much wider choice of enhanced – TV applications and multimedia data and entertainment services. 5.3 Obstacles to Switchover 5.3.1 The main problem is to replace millions of analogues receivers often very cheap by more expensive digital receivers. 5.3.2 Most consumers are not aware of digital radio and find analogue radio is good value for money. 5.3.3 The added value from digital radio or at least the information available to consumers does not yet seem sufficient to justify the additional cost for the average consumer, although prices are falling. 5.3.4 Subsidization of receivers is difficult in Tanzania as the scope for pay radio does not exist. 5.3.5 Both digital TV and radio markets in Tanzania are still non-existent or are at a very nascent stage whose current difficulties are more commercial than technological. 5.3.6 There are no policy and regulatory frameworks for digital broadcasting in Tanzania. 5.4 Implications of Switchover 5.4.1 Switchover implies much more than a technical migration. Considering the role of TV and radio in modern societies, that impact is not only economic but also social and political. 5.4.2 Switchover affects all segments in the broadcasting value chain namely content production, transmission and reception. 11 5.4.3 Operators will require technical upgrading to support digital broadcasting. The main challenge is on the reception side: (i) To replace or upgrade the huge installed base of analogue receivers. This can be done with integrated digital television or radio receivers or set-top-boxes connected to analogue TV set. (ii) Connection point that is antennas, dishes, cabling, must more often than not also be adapted. 5.4.4 The switchover cases for TV and radio are quite different. Digital TV market penetration is much greater. Analogue and digital TV are provided on various networks, mainly cable, satellite and terrestrial over VHF and UHF frequency bands. 5.4.5 Digital audio visual content can be also supported by the internet and marginally by digital subscriber lines networks. So television switchover is a multi network or multi platform process and digital TV is not synonymous with digital terrestrial TV. 5.4.6 A shorter run switchover involves significant costs and difficulties associated with the need to: (i) Introduce technical upgrades in all segments of a value-chain and review spectrum mechanisms and approaches. (ii) Develop attractive service to derive demand without which the overall process could be financially and politically unsustainable. (iii) Overcome scepticism and even resistance from industrial plays and citizens who may see risks in changing the status quo in the broadcasting sector. 12 5.4.7 Switchover is a complex and long process involving many valuables and affecting more or less directly many parties, namely users, consumers, industry and government. 5.4.8 Switchover also concerns many industry players, such as content creators, service providers, network operators or equipment manufacturers. 5.5 Managing the Process of Switchover 5.5.1 Policy Framework (i) Tanzania has no formal policy governing the introduction of digital broadcasting. The existing Broadcasting Policy 2003 does not specifically address digital broadcasting. Digital broadcasting has its own peculiarity and requires a specific policy to govern it after a public consultation process is undertaken. Alternatively the current broadcasting policy be reviewed to accommodate digital broadcasting. (ii) A policy addressing digital broadcasting is required to encourage digital switchover at some point in the future. When the current analogue licensees come up for renewal, a new applicant not committed to digital could have a competitive advantage over broadcasters who are committed to digital. Therefore it is proposed that a requirement that an applicant for a new analogue licence has to include in its application a proposal for providing simulcast service. It is believed that this will help build momentum behind the introduction of digital broadcasting. 5.5.2 Legal Framework The regulatory framework for broadcasting in Tanzania is set out in two legislations. (i) The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Act No.12 of 2003. This Act establishes the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) for 13 purposes interalia to regulate broadcasting by issuing licences subject to the Broadcasting Services Act No.6 of 1993. (ii) The Broadcasting Services Act regulates radio (i.e sound broadcasting) and television (video broadcasting) whether by analogue or digital means but does not specifically address digital broadcasting. (iii) TCRA is currently only issuing broadcasting licences to broadcasters using analogue. Although the law regulating broadcasting in Tanzania is silent on technology used for broadcasting development of new technologies has brought new demand that require legislation change. Such demands include but not limited to spectrum use, licensing, switching from analogue to digital, replacing analogue receivers, transmitters or upgrading the analogue infrastructure. To address all these issues there is a great need of reviewing the law and amend or enact new one. 5.5.3 Licensing Framework (i) With the advent of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), three distinct kinds of service will come into play, namely, multiplex service, television programme service and additional services. Multiplex operator (ii) A multiplex operator is responsible for rolling-out the DTT transmission network; managing the allocation of channel capacity of a multiplex to television programme services and/or additional services; and transmitting those services. Although imperceptible to viewers, the multiplex operator will be an intermediary between viewers and the television programme service providers and/or additional service providers. 14 Television programme service provider (iii) A DTT programme service provider provides television service, including programme associated data. It would assume editorial responsibility for the content of the programme service. Additional service provider (iv) Through the application of digital technology, a considerable amount of non-programme associated data can be transmitted and received by TV sets, without affecting television picture quality on the same frequency channels. Additional services might include home banking, home shopping, multi-media and interactive services. These additional services could increase the appeal of digital receivers to consumers. Licensing Approach Combined licensing (v) There are two main options to license these three kinds of services. The first option is combined licensing, which means broadcasters are licensed to provide television programme services and to establish and operate multiplexes for the transmission of their own programme services. The spare transmission capacity of the multiplex could be leased to other programme service providers or additional service providers. This approach is similar to the way in which analogue television programme services are currently provided, except that existing licensees are not endowed with the right to lease their transmission capacity to others. 15 Separate licensing (vi) Another option is that companies are licensed to establish and operate multiplexes for the provision of transmission capacity, on a contractual basis, to television programme service providers and additional service providers. This approach separates the licensing of multiplex operation, programme service provision and additional service provision. Under this option, frequency channels will not be allocated to broadcasters but will be allocated to the providers of multiplex service which bring together, through commercial arrangement, a package of television programme services and additional services on each frequency channel. This approach recognizes that some programme service providers may not wish to be involved, or have the relevant expertise, in multiplex operation. Nevertheless, companies interested in the provision of programme service as well as the operation of multiplex may apply for both types of licences. (vii) These two options are proposed for consultation with stakeholders. 6.0 ROAD MAP FOR MIGRATION 6.1 In designing the implementation plan for DTT, the conversion from analogue to digital broadcasts should cause as minimal disruption to viewers as possible. 6.2 The transition plan should also facilitate the roll-out of DTT in Tanzania and provide a conducive environment for broadcasters to invest for the development of DTT in Tanzania. Accordingly, the migration of the existing analogue television programme services to DTT would need to be carried out cautiously in steps. 16 6.3 In view of the above this document proposes the following timetable for implementation of digital switchover:- S/NO ACTIVITY RESPONSIBLE DATE 1 Consultation with TCRA, MOCT CHIEF MINISTER'S 9.8.05 - Stakeholders OFFICE, PMO, ZBC, FINANCE, 30.11.2005 Operators 2 Adoption of Policy MOCT and PMO 16.1.2006 on Digital Broadcasting 3 Amendment of MOCT, PMO, 18.4.2006 Legislation Attorney General Chambers 4 Modification of TCRA 24.4.2006 Converged Licensing Framework 5 Switchover to TCRA/ZBC 15.6.2006 Digital Operators Broadcasting 6 Simulcast Period TCRA/ZBC 15.6.2006 Operators 14.6.2012 7 Switch off date of TCRA/ZBC December 31, 2012 Analogue Operators Broadcasting 8 Digital TCRA/ZBC January 1,2013 Broadcasting Only Operators 7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed recommendations are categorised as follows: 7.1 Policy Formulation To invite views from all stakeholders through this consultation document for formulating policy on Digital Broadcasting. 7.2 Legal Framework The existing legal framework be reviewed to accommodate digital broadcasting. 17 7.3 Licensing Framework 7.3.1 There should be a separate licensing approach specifically for digital broadcasting namely multiplex operators, programme service provider, and additional service provider. 7.3.2 Set-top-boxes and integrated TVs', and conditional access systems be regulated and licensed. 7.3.3 High-definition television and mobile reception should not be made mandatory at the initial stage of implementation so as to allow more operational flexibility for multiplex operators. 7.3.4 The existing terrestrial television programme service channels in analogue and digital formats be allowed to simulcast. The concerned multiplex operators should be obliged to promote the take-up rate of digital terrestrial television so that the frequency spectrum currently used for analogue broadcast could be released as soon as possible. 7.3.5 A set of extensive criteria to assess applications for multiplex licences be adopted. 7.3.6 A company should not be allowed to submit applications for more than two multiplex licences. 7.3.7 The number of licences to be issued for television programme services carried on DTT multiplexes should be limited by spectrum availability. 7.3.8 A domestic free/pay television programme service licensee should not be allowed to take up the bit-rate capacity of more than one multiplex (excluding the guaranteed slots allocated for simulcast services) 18 7.3.9 A multiplex licensee should be allowed to reserve a maximum of 25% of the multiplex capacity exclusively for the provision of additional services 7.3.10 To regulate the provision of electronic programme guide service. 7.4 Transition from Analogue to Digital 7.4.1 To reserve "guaranteed slots" on Multiple Frequency Network multiplexes for the simulcast of the existing free- to-air analogue television channels. 7.4.2 To require the multiplex licensees to carry the existing free-to-air analogue television channels free of charge until the analogue services are switched off. 7.4.3 To require that all the programme hours provided on the existing analogue channels should be simulcast on the guaranteed digital channels. 7.4.4 To invite applications for multiplex licences as soon as possible with a view to commencing simulcast of analogue and digital terrestrial television services June 2006. 7.5 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) 7.5.1 To consider inviting licence applications for DAB services when the following market situations materialise (a) the market potential of DAB and the associated non- broadcasting applications becomes clearer; (b) the price of digital broadcasting receivers comes down to an affordable level for consumers; and (c) the worldwide penetration of DAB services picks up momentum. 19 7.5.2 The incumbent sound broadcasters should be allowed, under their respective licence conditions, to continue to make use of the AM/FM frequencies for analogue broadcast, pending a firm decision on the introduction of DAB services. 7.7 Regulatory Regime for Sound Broadcasting 7.7.1 To define sound programme service as the provision of a service that includes sound programmes for transmission by telecommunications that are readily accessible to, or made available to, the general public. 7.7.2 To maintain the existing licence conditions relating to investment restrictions, i.e. the 51% shareholding for Tanzanians and 49% for foreigners. 7.7.3 Cross-Media ownership principles be introduced and adopted to avoid unfair competition and media concentration. 20

Rating: pg - Mild Violence, Excellent For Children
A boy's best friend is his robot in this animated adventure from Brad Bird, best known for his TV work on such series as The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and The Critic. Set in 1957, The Iron Giant focuses on Hogarth (voice of Eli Marienthal), an imaginative nine-year-old boy who daydreams of alien invasions and doing battle with Communist agents. One day, Hogarth hears a local fisherman talk about something that surpasses anything he could dream up: a fifty-foot robot that fell from the sky into a nearby lake. Needless to say, Hogarth's mom, Annie (voice of Jennifer Aniston) finds this a little hard to swallow, but when Hogarth finds the robot (voice of Vin Diesel) and fishes him out of the water, his pal Dean (voice of Harry Connick Jr.), a beatnik sculptor who also runs a junkyard, offers to help by hiding the robot with his salvage. A government agent named Kent Mansley (voice of Christopher McDonald) soon gets wind that there's a mechanical invader of unknown origins in the neighborhood and wants to wipe out the potential threat. However, the robot (which loves to eat metal and is learning to talk) turns out to be friendly, and the boy in turn tries to teach his new pal the ways of humans. The Iron Giant is loosely based on the book {~The Iron Man by late British poet Ted Hughes, previously adapted for the stage by rock musician Pete Townshend, who executive produced the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

One of the most powerful things a person can do is to rename themselves (even if only privately) to reflect more of who they truly, deeply are. Shakespeare's Juliet, when she thought about her Romeo, may have asked herself "What's in a name?" but there is great power in naming, especially since our given names often do not reflect our true selves, and are not truly fitting for who we are.
It can be very magical and empowering to discover your true name. Find out how:
1. Give some thought to the following questions: How do you see yourself? How would you describe yourself? How do other people see you? How would you like to be seen? If you could rename yourself with any word or phrase that best fits you as a person, what would it be?
2. Think of animals, objects, or anything in your familiar environment. Focusing on these, generate a few ideas for names that might be a better fit for you, and that makes you feel better about yourself.
3. Now think of personal characteristics or personal achievements or experiences that have helped to define the person you are. What personal quality or experience might you want to have reflected in your name?
4. After you have mulled over these questions, try closing your eyes and relaxing into a deeply centered state. Ask your Deep Self for guidance, and see if one or more of the words you thought of appears as your name.

Anyone remember the EA game Road Rash? For those who may be too young to remember the game, it was basically a motorcycle game where you competed against other motorcyclists. The first game was released in 1991 and it was not your typical racing game. Your character could use chains and baseball bats to beat up other motorcyclists, causing them to crash. You could even kick their bikes and steal their weapons and run over civilians. GTA (Grand Theft Auto) anyone?
There have been talks about reviving the game several years ago, but until today there still has been nothing, at least until EA Labels president Frank Gibeau came out and spoke to CVG at Gamescom that the company is looking to rework and reimagine some of their older franchises.
While he did not actually come out and say Road Rash was definitely on their list, he did mention the game a couple of times. We're not sure if he was trying to hint subtly that Road Rash would be one of those games, or if he was just trying to reference retro games that he had a hand in creating. Either way as a fan of the original Road Rash and Road Rash 2, I wouldn't mind seeing the game remade and reworked with today's graphics and technology. Any other retro gamers feel the same?

I'm constantly surprised with the players the Canadiens draft, but feel bad that more often than not they can't see the fruits of their labor.
I always liked Ryan O'Byrne and felt like if Montreal was patient enough, he would become a solid 2nd pairing D-man.
Always thought Halak had potential, and good on him to show that with the Canadiens in his last year with the team.
Latendresse took off in Minnesota, but wasn't able to with Montreal.
D'Agostini settled into a role with St.Louis but looked like he didn't have a place when with Montreal.
Grabovski is looking like a gem for the Leafs, and was traded when he was too raw.
I hope Sergei doesn't come to bite them in the ***, but even if he was to, one should keep in mind that no GM would have tolerated the kind of behavior Sergei was demonstrating when with the Canadiens.
Sometimes its player development, and many times its the surrounding atmosphere. Montreal and Toronto aren't the best places for youngsters to go through growing pains. There is a very little margin or time frame for them to show what they've got.
Toronto went through the same with the likes of Alex Steen and Carlo Colaiacovo.

Jeff Cox is a finance editor with CNBC.com where he covers all aspects of the markets and monitors coverage of the financial markets and Wall Street. His stories are routinely among the most-read items on the site each day as he interviews some of the smartest and most well-respected analysts and advisors in the financial world.
Over the course of a journalism career that began in 1987, Cox has covered everything from the collapse of the financial system to presidential politics to local government battles in his native Pennsylvania.
Cox joined CNBC in 2007 just as the worst of the credit crisis was about to explode and as the website was still in the infancy of its new rollout.
He helped chronicle the collapse of Bear Stearns and then Lehman Brothers, writing insightful and important stories about the demise of some of Wall Street's leading names and how investors could navigate their way through the crisis. His articles are often picked up by other CNBC syndication partners such as Yahoo and AOL Money and have been cited in a number of national publications, including USA Today.
Prior to coming to CNBC, Cox worked at CNNMoney where he wrote a series of analyses, which were the first to tie the surging demand for ethanol to rising prices at the supermarket. He wrote extensively on alternative energy while at CNN and covered technology as well.
In his print career, Cox's writing and editing projects were honored on multiple occasions by the New Jersey Press Association and Pennsylvania Newspaper Association, which cited him twice for commentary, including a series of columns he wrote after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
He also served as lead editor for award-winning projects on gangs, child molestation and the cost of education, a project on which he spoke at Columbia University. The cost of education series was honored by the NJPA for public service journalism.
In all, Cox spent 18 years in print, including nine years in senior editing positions.
A graduate of Bloomsburg University, Cox lives in Pennsylvania, on the Delaware River, with his wife, Mary Ellen.

When Boing Boing invited me into their tree house a few months ago I had every hope that I, a notoriously fickle employee, would find a home. Somewhere to kick up my feet for the long haul; a place to do exactly the sort of work — or attempt at work — that I wanted to do. It's been that and more. The Boingers are — unsurprisingly — the most like-minded and supportive group of folks I've ever worked with and I owe them a lot. So it is with my closest analog of real human joy that I ask you to welcome two new editors here at Boing Boing Gadgets: Rob Beschizza and John Brownlee. I'll save the pedantic (and probably boring) retelling of their recent careers. Suffice it to say that of the dozens of writers I've worked with over the years, Rob and John consistently make the kind of content I find captivating, intelligent, and hilarious. It doesn't hurt that they've both become dear friends. Our mission remains the same meandering trajectory: share with you the things we find interesting — and lambast the things we find tedious, wasteful, or poorly crafted. We're going to be experimenting with lots of ideas, some of which may actually turn out to be good. We also will continue to find ways to engage the community that has grown up around Boing Boing, not as some bullet point on a "Things to do on a website" list, but because collectively — often individually! — you guys are smarter and more knowledgeable than we are. I'm not exactly sure what Boing Boing Gadgets will grow up to be, but I can't wait to watch it erupt into the scaly travesty against life itself we all know it can become. Previously • Welcome. If I Didn't Hate the Connotations of "Manifesto..." [BBG]

In case anyone is wondering, I'm the kid in the yellow spacesuit with the face melted by chemical burns.
I look forward to reading what you write about our planet.
Welcome to both of you! I loved your stuff at Wired, so looking forward to your work here too.
Congrats on the move!
Congrats on the move for sure. I know you will entertain me here in the same fashion as you did at Wired.
All hail Boing boing!
viva la ectoplasmosis!
The glutinous tentacles of the Octobee worm their way ever deeper into the soft belly of the internets.
Hey, that's great news! Congrats to both.
John Brownlee, you are a funny guy!
But you have no face.
Hello, everyone!
What's the source for that image?
And hi to you, Rob. Brownlee, are we to assume then that Ectomo's normally shambling pace will become even more glacial with your attentions further divided? Make it worth it, son.
Johnson, Bechizza, and Brownlee, all focused on a single fascinating subject? My modest supply of adjectives is overwhelmed by the gleeful anticipation of their regular dispatches. The hydrogen-filled gasbaggery of far too much that passes for high-tech gadget-related journalism is about to meet the white-hot pitchforks of the new BBG crew, and I can't wait. Gentlemen, start your blowtorches!
Holy shit! Judging by the Beschizza and Brownlee posts I've read today, this is gonna be awesome.
The three of you probably add up to like, four or five hundred pounds of humanflesh, but 16 tons of AWESOME.
Xeni's calling us fatties, I think. We can't all be lithe, frosted-hair sylphs, Xeni!
I follow you wherever you go John Brownlee. You really need to start making posts on ecto when you add a new writing position under your formidable belt.
Oh dear lord Cthulhu. You've recruited Brownlee? THE John Brownlee??! I thought we had him safely locked up at Ectomo.com & now you're going to unleash him on the BoingBoings? What hell hath ye wrought!
its only a matter of time now before gadgets supplant the mother ship in a mutiny of unfathomable techno-horror. I wait patiently.
