This international comparative study arises from a recent conference held at Waseda University (Tokyo) and contains up to the minute contributions by economists, political scientists and engineers from Japan, United Kingdom and Germany. The convergence of telecommunications and broadcasting raises many questions. What form will convergence take in the future? When convergence produces new opportunities in the information, education and entertainment markets, what sort of rules of the game will be required? How will the players behave in these new markets? What policies might be needed?
