The September report begins with European telecom operators who pushed for major tech companies like Google and Netflix to help finance network infrastructure. The European Commission, however, pledged to Washington that no network usage fees would be introduced, rejecting the “fair share” principle. Besides, a coalition of 84 associations opposed mandatory fees, warning they could undermine net neutrality, affordability, and access to digital services. In addition, the report focuses on Switzerland’s “Lex Netflix” which requires audiovisual services to invest at least 4% of revenue into local productions, raising 37 million USD for 2024. Moreover, the report deals with Austrian data protection watchdog, which ordered YouTube to give users full access to their data following a 2019 Noyb complaint. In a new study, the European Audiovisual Observatory also highlighted that in 2024 spending on original European works (excluding news and sports) reached €25.1 billion. Broadcasters accounted for roughly two-thirds of that total, while global streaming platforms contributed the remaining third. Finally, the report focuses on recent developments concerning digital platforms, notably Spotify, Disney+, YouTube, and TikTok.
