In the letter to parliament about the future of public broadcasting, Minister Slob states that the Cabinet will investigate whether “the establishment of the compensation can be regulated, so that it becomes more transparent and contributes to a fair compensation for the programming that is largely financed with government contributions”. Dialogic, in collaboration with SEO Economic Research, Paul Rutten, and Karen Donders, is researching possibilities for and effects of regulating the distribution fee.
What constitutes a fair compensation is debatable: in our approach, we steer clear of discussions on what is fair or unfair and reason from the perspective of effective market functioning. This means that we will develop models that mimic market operations as closely as possible and analyse the effects of various policy options. This spring, we will engage with various market parties and stakeholders. The research is expected to be completed by June.
