Quick Comment 丨 Look at the central government to VIP?The contradiction between market service and limited public responsibility needs to be resolved

The simulation TV signal has officially withdrawn from the stage. How to resolve the contradiction between the market service of the TV station's live broadcast and the coexistence of limited public responsibilities is worth thinking about the public service provider.

"I want to watch a central government, it actually wants VIP to see it." A few days ago, a mother in Hubei wanted to show her children "The First Lesson for the First School", but opened the TV but found that many channels were locked by VIP tags. Essence The incident subsequently caused heated discussions on the Internet, and once again caused netizens to talk about the current online TV and video website platforms.

At present, TV stations at all levels including Central Taiwan want to be played on TV in real time, nothing more than two ways: one is a cable TV set -top box provided by China Radio, Television and its subsidiaries, and the other. IPTV set -top box provided in broadband services. Both of the above channels need to be paid. In addition, there are no other copyright -protected regular TV stations.

Therefore, after understanding the market launch channel of the existing TV station's live broadcast business, parents in the news incident cannot play the live content of the TV station on TV, which is actually a normal situation.

With the development of the Internet, television is also moving towards intelligence, and almost all mainstream TV products on the market are all maintained intelligent functions. To achieve this method is not complicated, that is, a built -in set of corresponding hardware, and then developing the TV system based on the Android system kernel (except a few TV brands). To put it more popular, it can completely regard network smart TVs as an oversized Android phone. Even old and old TVs can also achieve related functions by purchasing network boxes. However, no matter what kind of online box and online TV, it is not allowed to watch the live broadcast of the TV station unless you pay the IPTV business or the radio and television cable TV business.

Therefore, netizens' complaints can be understood, but they should not be able to blame either party on TV. The live broadcast of TV stations is the content products created by employees. They are the result of their labor. They have corresponding intellectual property rights and should be protected. Therefore, if you do n’t pay, you want to see all TV stations on TV, which is obviously disrespectful to the creators.

Nevertheless, netizens' vomiting is still a valuable reminder. Broadcasting and television belong to public services in a sense, and assume the public responsibility and functions of the spread of limited emergency notifications. In the Internet era, how to realize this function is actually responding to the inquiry of netizens "even the central government can't see it". During the time when digital TV signals were just popular, the state stipulated that simulated TV signals must retain at least 6 channels including a central government, in order to respect the right to user choices and give them the right to not watch digital signal TVs. At the same time, this move can also ensure that the public can obtain information through television in time in an emergency.

From this perspective, the construction of the radio and television network should also keep pace with the times. Regardless of whether users are willing to use TV to watch live broadcasts on TV, they should cover a full range of TV channels including a limited number of central government. Although the TV pages and APPs can be broadcast live on the computer and smartphones, it is not all of everyone who has computers and smartphones, and not everyone can use the Internet proficiently. The elderly are one of the most unforgettable groups on the Internet, but they are the most important part of TV users. Nowadays, the simulation TV signal has officially withdrawn from the stage. How to resolve the contradiction between the market service of the TV station's live broadcast and the coexistence of limited public responsibilities is worth thinking about the public service provider.
