ABSTRACT
The members of parliament mentioned above questioned whether the current media law is out of touch with the changes in Dutch society and the broader media landscape. Although the law of 2000 is supposed to govern all printed and electronic forms of mass media, in fact there is different legislation for public broadcasting, commercial broadcasting and the press. As far as the Internet is concerned, the question of whether this should be seen as a medium or an infrastructure has not yet been asked, nor do policymakers have any answers. It is precisely the language of media and infrastructures that has made it almost impossible to answer the question in a policy-oriented manner. We will return to this later on.
