Broadcasting Media Communications Commission drafts plan to boost pay TV; focus on terms regulation

South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media Communications Commission is preparing a plan to revitalise the pay TV sector by year-end, after completing an internal draft. The industry has called for easing price and terms-and-conditions regulation, but pushback from programme providers could limit broad changes. Officials are considering starting with regulatory relief for add-on services, where resistance is seen as lower. The scope of any terms-rule changes is expected to be a key issue.
