About the event

The Digital Britain Final Report published by Lord Carter in June 2009 covers the central policy commitments in the Government's Building Britain's Future plan and draft legislative programme. It suggests that satellites could play a role in the delivery of Digital Britain but the treatment of the potential for satellite was cursory and lacked detail. This seminar is aimed at exploring the full potential of satellite in delivering government policies related to digital inclusion (TV, broadband, superfast broadband, eGovernment services, skills and learning). 

This discussion is needed now in order to influence the policies, strategies and structures that will be put in place to deliver the Digital Britain vision over the next year.

The final Digital Britain report identified an overall strategy for delivering TV / video / broadband / superfast broadband and associated value-added services.

The subject areas addressed by the event will cover all aspects through:

• Regulation: how to ensure that satellite is not discriminated against
• Spectrum: availability of and access to the required spectrum
• Technology (current and future): how will it evolve to meet future needs
• Services: what can satellite offer and how will it meet changing end-user requirements
• Commercial issues: how will the value chain need to work in future.

Policy makers: senior civil servants, regional/county/local councillors, RDA chairmen
