The Impact of COVID-19 on Investments in Media and ICT
May 14, 2020
This webinar addressed the following:
- In the short-term, what level of funding do media and ICT companies need to survive and grow again?
- Is private funding available in today's environment?
- What kind of long-term investments are likely to be on the private and public agendas?
- Is there a role for public investments?
- What are the lessons from 2008/9?
- If stimulus funding is provided, what types of media should receive it? Should it be critical broadband infrastructure providers to upgrade and expand their reach? Or declining industries such as newspapers that play a role in a societal crisis? Or users? Should there be restrictions and conditions placed on support?
