E-inclusiveness and digital television in Europe - A holistic model

Abstract

This paper reviews the nature and size of the accessibility challenge and identifies pitfalls in the current strategies to promote e-inclusiveness. Using examples such as the DTV4ALL project which focuses on free-to-air broadcasting, the paper argues the case for working systematically with stakeholders associated with the entire access service supply chain to draw up and implement a continent-wide strategy to promote e-inclusiveness and digital television. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
