From the Paper:

" The broadcasting industry has undergone a vast transformation within the past decade, especially within the UK. For many years there were only four television channels which were broadcasting to the UK, then with the introduction of cable and satellite broadcasting, the UK audience was subjected to a multitude of specialized channels. Digital broadcasting is a new type of broadcasting medium, which allows many more television and radio channels to be broadcast. There is also a new array of interactive services which Digital broadcasting will bring."
