The Stage: Campaign demands government covers cost of digital switchover for entertainment sector

Posted on 16.11.09 | Categories: digital switchover, microphones, wireless, ofcom

More than 20 arts and entertainment bodies, including Equity, Bectu and the Society of London Theatre, are calling on the government to cover the costs of replacing wireless microphones following digital switchover.

The organisations have launched a campaign called Save Our Sound, following concerns that users of wireless microphones – which are vital in live events and musical theatre productions – will need to replace existing equipment after 2012, because the spectrum the equipment currently operates on is going to be auctioned off by Ofcom.

The apssmutions of complexity economics are akin to biological evolution. As Beinhocker writes, you have business plans (combination of physical tech and social tech) competing on a fitness plain. So the same phenomena that occur in the natural world can occur in complexity economics. You can have predator-prey relationships that can cause a collapse when there are too many predators or even parasitic relationships where smaller companies can live off the bigger companies by weakening them to just short of collapse. There is no real static equilibrium in the biological world but there can be dynamic equilibrium. The same is true for complexity economics.Your examples of the healthcare sector and lobbyists demonstrates the power government has in influencing the fitness function of the market. Government is the creator and maintainer of many of the social technologies and thus if lobbyists convince government to pass laws that favor one business plan type over another then the competition between business plans is distorted. This reinforces Beinhocker’s assertion that government’s actions affect the fitness function of the market whether government realizes it or not. Thus government should be conscious of how its regulations will impact the fitness function and craft social technologies that keeps markets open and transparent so that the knowledge creation and dissemination functions are completely optimized.Like or Dislike: 0 0
