Frederic Mitterrand defended the creation of channels on DTT

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

A bill will be filed within two months to repeal the offset channels granted to historical chains. The CSA will launch a call for applications for six new free channels available within a year.

LE FIGARO. – The government has just decided a call for applications for six new TV channels. Is it a political pre-election?

Frédéric Mitterrand. – No doubt that what we have to stop the development of DTT will be analyzed in terms of pre-electoral context. That said, I see nothing shocking in policy decisions even in a pre-election when they are good decisions, that is to say they serve the public good. In this case, which was decided as the French used as the viewers that audiovisual players. Frankly, it's the solution I recommended in the month of MayAt that time we were in debate on the future chains compensatory granted to incumbents but also the adoption of a new technical standard.

You have decided to delay the adoption of this standard. Is not this go against the future?

The principle of a change in broadcast standard is an act, we decided to give us time to let the natural park of televisions renewal. It is a choice primarily for the benefit of consumers. A change in standard would have required too fast the French to invest in new equipment so that the transition to all-digital is hardly complete. This transition takes place remarkably well, so that one should not forget that it is a revolution for the French daily. All could not afford to grant a new effort.We therefore remain faithful to the philosophy of "Digital Television for All" by offering more channels to all the French, for free. Otherwise, we would then come to an undemocratic situation where some French would have been less than other channels while TNT is so far a success. In addition, manufacturers are not yet ready, which means to wait for the new equipment is available. However, the move almost natural MPEG2 to MPEG4, already widespread, himself is assured.And finally, the government has clearly emphasized the importance of HD, which helps, too, to improve the quality of programs to be offered to viewers.

The repeal of compensatory strings can it lead to a request of withdrawal from the incumbents?

The choice of Brussels was an important driver in the decision that we have just taken, so as not to take undue risk to the state and historical chains, which have in recent months for positions fairly fluctuating. These groups have also not incur costs for the creation of compensatory strings.On the merits, I think the decision is beneficial to all the audiovisual sector and to all groups, which can now compete for the acquisition of new frequencies.

The market can absorb six new channels, more importantly if they are generalists?

I do not want me to replace the Higher Audiovisual Council, which will be master of the choice of channels. But one thing is certain, we live today in a sluggish advertising, if not difficult. Also, it seems a priori the channels may be more likely to take their game in terms of the offer as economically.

Some operators entered the market for TNT in 2005 sold their frequency advantage. Is it necessary to regulate such transactions?

These new entrants have made significant investments to launch their channels and are highly valued.My concern is the future of entertainment, whose difficulties are palpable, particularly in terms of fiction. Today it is on the field I want to express myself and exercise my vigilance Communications Minister.

There is a rise of the Canal + group. How do you react?

Canal + Group is an extraordinary sense of the word. He has developed a unique marketing model, but also new writings be it the visual way to turn the sport or even satirical practice journalism. It is also an operator who demonstrates responsiveness and a sense of strategy remarkable, although it can cause a stir. I also note that Canal + finance a quarter of French audiovisual creation.I hope that when the CSA and the Competition Authority will consider the acquisition by Canal + channels of the Bolloré Group (Direct 8 Direct and Star), the investment in programs, and guaranteed to be outstanding, watched with special attention.

The long wandering unemployed California

Monday, September 26th, 2011

For three years she is unemployed, Sheila Magsby short job center job center in the wheel of his battered car in the hope of becoming thinner, to find a job. The point where it is, after thirty-six months of fruitless searches and applications without response, the forties would be satisfied with a minimum wage, although it has twenty years experience as secretary to the prosecutor in Los Angeles. Over the past year, Sheila no longer receives any unemployment benefits. It is therefore no income. "Luckily I live with my father. How else am I get out? "She asks.

Sheila lives in Los Angeles, but that it is today came Torrance consult the job offers. "I might have better luck here," she sighed half-heartedly.At about twenty miles west of downtown, Torrance is home to the headquarters of U.S. automakers Toyota and Honda, companies that only hire certainly not now, but around which created an economy of small merchants , restaurants, etc..

Degreasing the chain

Eighth global economy, California stands today especially the second worst unemployment rate in the country (12.1%) after the Nevada (13.4%). Only the San Francisco area, the heart of high-tech industries and the Internet is more or less spared thanks to companies like Twitter and Facebook continue to recruit qualified personnel. The rest of the state bogged down. Building on education, the downsizing continues as roads and school performance deteriorated.In the center, in the San Joaquin Valley, the unemployment rate reached 40% in some towns. To the south, near the Mexican border, it rises to 26% in the Greater El Centro.

Alarmed by stagnant growth, stock market rout and a nagging housing crisis, employers in California have eliminated 8,400 jobs in August (after having created 98,500 since the beginning of the year). 3600 of them were eliminated in the public sector. The teacher Cindy Cheritan is one of the many victims of these cuts. She found herself obliged to accept a job as a nurse throughout the summer, paid $ 50 per day, because the City of Downey, where she works, can no longer afford to offer the remedial courses that summer allow teachers to make ends meet during their two months of unpaid leave."I've mostly replacements, says Cindy, because it is currently impossible to get tenure."

Three hundred applicants for every job

Cindy's case is emblematic. She returned several times the path to college for a career change. Having obtained a real estate license at the beginning of the real estate crisis of 1997, she was forced to abandon this activity almost immediately. "At the time, there was a shortage of teachers. So I opted for this profession. "Struck by bad luck, she became a teacher at age 45, after five years of study, just when education authorities began to fire teachers. Cindy is now for the group 16.3% of Californians living below the poverty line.At 50, she returned also live with her parents.

"We see a lot of engineers, says Christina Haggins, the job center of Redondo Beach as the aerospace industry, a strong presence here, has eliminated thousands of jobs. Recently we even had a judge have been unemployed for several months. We tried to help him, but he still has not found anything. "

According to the California Labor Department, about 300 candidates apply for each job. As was recently the case in a holistic care center for pets. "They were looking for a receptionist. We were 250 to introduce ourselves, "said Julie, unemployed for two years.

California and have any interest in adopting the employment plan recently presented by Barack Obama.The $ 3.9 billion allocated to infrastructure renewal of the state could create 51,500 jobs, 37,000 teachers could find the way to school. Finally, about 710,000 SMEs would receive tax cuts and social security. "We absolutely must get out of the economic hole we have fallen," calls the director of the Institute for Research and Development of the use of UCLA, Chris Tilly. "People need to get back on their spending and businesses to hire."

The Fed is embarking on a "Twist"

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

The Fed has launched "Operation Twist" on Wednesday. Following a two-day extraordinary meeting of its Monetary Policy Committee (FOMC), the U.S. central bank announced its intention to sell by the end of June 2012 for $ 400 billion of treasury bills maturity of three years or less, to buy an equivalent amount of maturity from six to 30 years.

This mechanism, which takes its name from the famous dance that was all the rage in the 1960s, had just been used for the last time in 1961. Its objective is to reduce interest rates in the long run to give a boost to business investment and the demand for housing loans, which use these rates as reference.

The Fed, however, chose not to touch interest rates that determine the short-term rates. They remain between 0% and 0.25%.And they will remain at historically low levels until mid-2013, said a statement.

Market disappointment

In addition to this twist, and in order to support the mortgage market, the Fed will also buy real estate securities without increasing the size of its portfolio. For this, it will continue to reinvest the securities-backed real estate it owns as they fall due. But the FOMC said, instead of buying Treasury bonds as it did previously, she will buy securities backed by mortgage-agency mortgage refinancing para as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

This double operation shows that the Federal Reserve, the economy remains very depressed."The latest economic indicators suggest a continued weak conditions in the labor market and unemployment remains high, the Fed said. There are significant downside risks weighing on economic prospects, including strains in global financial markets. " These findings are similar to those of the IMF, which announced Tuesday it had seen very sharp fall in its growth forecast for the U.S., in theory at a level insufficient to expect a decline in the unemployment rate, which remains very high, to 9.1%.

On Wall Street, where the launch of Operation Twist was widely anticipated, the operators retain the discretion not optimistic the U.S. economy. Shortly after the news release of the Fed, the Dow Jones, which evolved in equilibrium has shifted into the red.It closed down sharply from 2.49% to 11,124.84 points.

U.S. bonds are resistant to the loss of triple A

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Contrary to expectations, yields on government bonds to ten years U.S., the famous "T-Bonds," have not suffered the loss by the United States of their "triple A", which gave investors the best repayment guarantees available. Since the deterioration of the financial rating of Uncle Sat, August 6, the rating agency Standard & Poor's, the rate of return on government bonds ten years has even relaxed. It went from 2.58% the day before the announcement to 2.19% yesterday in New York.

"Common sense would that loss of the triple A, synonymous with degradation of the repayment capacity of borrowers, resulting in a tension on the rate of pay required by lenders, said Jean-Louis Mourier, economist at Aurel BGC. But the United States are in a particular position.In a world facing many economic uncertainties, bonds issued by the U.S. state are still considered a less risky than most other investments. "

Experts call this the "fly to quality", that is to say the postponement of international investors on asset quality at the expense of investment risk. "On the merits, there is no big difference between a AAA and AA +, said Philippe d'Arvisenet, chief economist of BNP Paribas. Everyone knows that the U.S. is heavily indebted, but nobody doubts their ability to repay their debts. However, there are concerns about the viability of the euro area, especially on signs of a slowdown in the global economy.These weigh on the shares, since one can fear a deterioration of business results. "

The shares were most affected

Since August 6, the Dow Jones, which includes the thirty largest U.S. companies, has in fact lost more than 3%, bringing in its wake all the global indices including the CAC 40 index, down 7.6% on the same period. Jean-Marie Mercadal, director of management at OFI AM, states that "analysts are still waiting for an increase of 14% of the profits of U.S. companies in 2012, but this estimate could be up to a 5% drop in a recession" . That's exactly what operators fear most.

In this context, the loans issued by the United States appears more secure.The U.S. bond market is mainly the most liquid and deepest in the world, ensuring that investors can sell their shares at any time, even in case of crisis. An advantage not available to France, which would it heavily penalized in the event of deterioration in its financial rating.
