[cma-l] URGENT! Do you put video on demand on your website - if so this is URGENT

[Jaqui Devereux]

Dear all

DEADLINE 15 July

Ofcom have decided (for the moment) that there will be a flat fee of 
£2,900 payable by anyone who puts video on demand (VOD) on their 
website.  If you do this already or think you may want to in the future, 
then you need to register your objection to this proposed fee which 
would apply equally to Sky, BBC, UTV etc and to you.

We are trying to get them to introduce a vastly reduced fee category for 
charitable and not for profit organisations, not just in the media 
sector but across the whole of the voluntary sector.

To voice your opinion (best to write saying you want to do VOD on your 
site but your income is only £xxx per annum, so such a fee would be 
completely unaffordable) to:

Adam.Baxter at ofcom.org.uk

CC us in if you can,

Thanks

Jaqui
