Regulatory issues:

Ownership -  Regulatory bodies has rules that stops big companies buying everything within a media sector. Pesonally I think this rule should continue because if one person owned a certain type of media you would only hear their point of view which the public shouldn't, they should hear different points of view and make their own mind up.

monopoly access - A monopoly exists where there is only one supplier of a product or service. This allows the supplier to charge higher prices than if there was competition. I agree with this statement because for example, Tesco have their own brand of products and sell them for a cheap price so people buy them. However if people constantly buy the Tesco products and put a brand out of business, Tesco can then charge whatever they like because there is no competition against them.

consumer choice - Consumer choice is when an audience have a choice on what to watch on TV, listen to on the radio and read in magazines.
