"The European Union's antitrust chief [Mario Monti] said Thursday that he would open an inquiry into whether TV, music and sports operators are unfairly keeping their content from new media providers," reports AP.
"Monti said his office would focus on the provision of content — music, films and sports — over the Internet for such new services as video on demand. He singled out broadcasters and pay-TV operators who 'acquire rights for delivery of content' for technologies, such as the Internet, that they aren't even active in."
