Lord Carter’s Digital Britain report is to be published at 3:30 this afternoon. The much anticipated report is expected to reveal the Government’s plans to tackle file-sharing and bring broadband internet access to the whole country.

It is also expected to shed light on how companies like Channel 4 might cope with the impact of the internet and whether the BBC will be made to share part of the licence fee with its commercial rivals.

South West Screen’s chair, Roger Laughton CBE will be on the BBC news channel this afternoon from 3:15pm to comment on Digital Britain as it is published. Watch him here.

Roger has a history in broadcasting and has been Head of Network Features at the BBC, the first CEO of Meridian and headed up United Broadcasting and Entertainment. Roger is a Fellow of the Royal Television Society and also currently sits on the boards of the Arts Institute of Bournemouth, the Grierson Trust and Metfilm.
