The Convergence Review

The Convergence Review was an Australian government initiative in 2012-2013 that examined how media and telecommunications industries are changing due to technological advancements, such as the internet and digital broadcasting. Its goal was to update regulations to better reflect the digital landscape, ensuring fair competition, diverse content, and consumer protection. The review considered whether existing rules were still relevant and recommended reforms to promote innovation while maintaining appropriate oversight. Essentially, it aimed to adapt policies to support a more integrated and competitive media environment in the digital age.
