Last week Ofcom published it's digital blueprint for the UK. Interesting to see the potential for Big City TV, and also plans to improve local news. Interesting for me, as in my pre digital phase I started out working for a regional TV station for London. TV news is hardly local, with broadcasts covering large regional areas. A great opportunity here perhaps for regional press publishers to step in. Although some have been amalgamating titles covering a wider geographical area to cut costs in the current brutal recession. Surely this is the wrong strategy to compete with the Internet's ability to deliver information and news right down to a postcode. Perhaps a short-term essential move.

This week further news is due on broadband/internet developments.

These reports are welcome news, full of opportunity and development and hopefully great for businesses like Luca Media.
