- Abstract
- This article discusses the Australian government’s late 2006 ‘Digital Action Plan’, which details policy changes for the transition to digital television. It suggests that the plan does open up greater possibilities for new services, and so encourages consumers to purchase digital receivers; however, it also suggests that Australia’s approach is characterised by a desire to follow international trends rather than any inventive use of the technology, or policy leadership.
