The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) adopted on 15 April Principles for Internet-Connected and Hybrid Television which, if applied, could deliver lower costs, greater choice and a better viewing experience for consumers. The principles are also meant to allow broadcasters and other content providers to link broadcast and on-demand content such as catch-up TV.
Other issues raised in the policy document include the preservation of a safe viewing environment, including the protection of minors and copyright and data protection.
The EBU called on all stakeholders to support and respect the principles.
