The March report begins with a new memorandum from the US administration which seeks to defend US companies and technology from “overseas extortion”, directly attacking EU tech regulations such as the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act and threatening tariff retaliation. Among other policy measures which “dictate how US companies interact with consumers in the European Union”, the memorandum lists local content requirements for streaming services. The March report also emphasizes the discussions in France about investment obligations from transnational video-on-demand (VOD) companies to national audiovisual content and highlights a new study released by the European Audiovisual Observatory on the impact of cinema admissions on subscription(S)VOD usage. Finally, the report focuses on new partnerships and business plans in the platform-based economy, focusing on Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Warner Bros. Entertainment, and YouTube.
