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. 410 0$aWorld Bank working paper ;$vno. 11. 606 $aBroadcasting$zDeveloping countries 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic policy 615 0$aBroadcasting 676 $a338.9/009172/4 700 $aKenny$b Charles$0612137 701 $aEltzroth$b Carter$f1957-$01861220 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962581403321 996 $aBroadcasting and development$94467310 997 $aUNINA
