Abstract

This paper explores changes in television landscape in the context of Internet-TV convergence in East Asia – Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea. It draws on evidence obtained through an examination of the recent reshaping of the television industry and the new platform industry utilising Internet-based streaming services in the three countries under study, where players and regulators have responded in different ways to the new technology. It argues that the lack of regulation of Internet-based streaming services is an indication of reduced confidence at the state level about where the market should be going.
