Excellent read, thank you for linking it.

Quoted from the conclusion:

Quote:
The right response is clear: if the market is providing more – and it is – the stateshould do less. So it is time to accept that public sector broadcasting only has avery limited role to play in the age of multi-channel television. The remit and fundingof the BBC should steadily be reduced and the other terrestrial broadcasters given the freedom to succeed or fail according to how well they meet the needs of their viewers. Let’s put people, rather than politicians, in charge of broadcasting.
