In the letter to parliament on the future of public broadcasting, Minister Slob states that the Cabinet will explore whether “the establishment of the compensation can be regulated, making it more transparent and contributing to a fair compensation for the programming that is largely financed by government contributions”. Dialogic, in collaboration with SEO Economisch Onderzoek, Paul Rutten, and Karen Donders, is researching possibilities for and effects of regulating the distribution fee.
What is considered a fair compensation? This is debatable: in our approach, we steer clear of the discussion on what is fair or unfair and reason from the perspective of effective market functioning. This means that we will build models to simulate market operations as closely as possible and analyse the effects of various policy options. This spring, we are engaging with various market parties and stakeholders. The research is expected to be completed by June.
