Andy Duncan, chief executive, Channel 4
YES
Digital Britain marks the first time there has been serious consideration given to many key issues in the media and telecoms space in a joined up way.
Progress has been made in some areas such as copyright protection and broadband access, and public service content.
But is this the end? Well, it is a big step. But a lot depends on getting things done from here on.
There are a number of loose ends that need to be tied up.
I am not disappointed with the report. However, we are happy the Government has endorsed us as the core of public service broadcasting provision beyond the BBC.
We are pleased to have been asked to expand our remit.
On funding, our direction of travel is good - we never expected the report to deliver a final outcome for this.
Andrew Harrison, chief executive, RadioCentre
YES
The report's ambition for Britain to be one of the world's leading digital economies is spot on.
Digital Britain has been absolutely the right exercise to ensure we have the right digital infrastructure to fulfil that ambition.
For radio, we are encouraged that the industry now has a clear road map and can invest with certainty in a digital future.
Lord Carter and his team have worked inclusively and with great urgency. It is impressive that such a comprehensive report has been produced in a short space of time.
This first phase is complete, but we need to ensure the Government translates the policy into action as soon as possible.
Does it matter that Lord Carter is moving on??
No - ministers come and go all the time. It will be the teams behind the scenes that will get things done and we all now need to play our part.
Roger Parry, chairman, Local Media Alliance
NO
Stephen Carter really understands the implications of moving from analogue to digital, but was unable to create actionable ideas in the dog days of a struggling Government.
Digital Britain started a valuable debate about the future, but has not resulted in any robust solutions.
It required the Office of Fair Trading to look at local newspapers. It acknowledged the competitive landscape has changed forever, but funding local TV is unresolved. Digital Britain was good, but not as good as it could have been.
Lord Carter will soon adorn some media boardroom, but Ofcom was his finest hour - not this.
Simon Shaps, consultant, former director of TV, ITV
NO
Digital Britain is brilliant on tomorrow's opportunities, but weak on today's problems, as there are urgent issues facing all major UK broadcasters that need answering now.
Stripping ITV of all its public service broadcasting obligations, even on an accelerated timetable, does not provide anything like a complete answer to its long-term sustainability. What kind of broadcaster should Channel 4 be and how is it to be funded? Does Five have a future? Above all, should a disproportionately well-funded BBC now become a piggy bank for the commercial sector?
On this question, there is equivocation when what the industry needs is clarity. To make it worse, we now have a new secretary of culture to steer the debate, the imminent departure from office of the report's author and the prospect of a new government within 12 months. Happy days.
