- The government has confirmed that it will use part of the BBC to fund universal broadband access.
- Gordon Brown's cabinet reshuffle earlier this month, confirmed to the House of Commons that the government planned to use the expected £200m so-called "digital switchover surplus" from the licence fee to help provide universal access to broadband.
- 50p a month would also be placed on all fixed phone lines to help pay for next-generation broadband for 90% of the population.
- ITV has said it will pull out of providing regional news because it can no longer afford to fund it – but will continue to provide airtime for other media organisations to supply replacement programming.
- Bradshaw did reveal a new government target to switch off analogue radio by 2015.
