    The Classical Model for Broadcasting Structures in Europe is one based on national autarchy and linguistic exclusivity. The model derives from the introduction of radio broadcasting in the 1920s.

    Broadcasting grew up in Europe as a national instrument. But as the result of new emerging communications technologies, particularly cable and satellites, national boundaries and national regulations are becoming irrelevant.

    Broadcasting has long been considered one of the keys to modernization in the developing world. Able to leap the triple barrier of distance, illiteracy, and apathy, it was seen as a crucial clement in the development of new nations.
