Sector reform is long over-due, with the state dominating radio broadcasting in three-quarters of the world. Reform can have a significant impact on governance and transparency. It is time for the World Bank to turn its attention to broadcasting, where many lessons of reform apply, and where the unmet need for assistance is great. Potential activities include basic reform of sector ownership, convergence regulation to harmonize regulations covering broadcast and telecommunication infrastructure, support for community radio stations to improve access for the poor, and pilot projects in digital television to assess the potential to widen access to the internet.World Bank working paper ;no. 11.BroadcastingDeveloping countriesDeveloping countriesEconomic policyBroadcasting338.9/009172/4Kenny Charles612137Eltzroth Carter1957-1861220World Bank.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962581403321Broadcasting and development4467310UNINA
