"This paper is a methodological supplement to the Working Paper No. 223e of the Institute for Broadcasting Economics by Manfred Kops: "A Revenue-Based Methodology for the Classification and Comparison of Broadcasting Systems". It explains the methodology to generate graphs that describe and compare broad­casting systems by means of Microsoft's Excel." (Publisher description)

"The study at hand follows a common economic approach. It tries to classify and compare broadcasting systems according to the way broadcasting is provided and financed in a country. As this approach is very general, it can be used both for traditional broadcasting programs (radio and television programs) and new forms of broadcasting (like IP TV and other forms of electronic communion that are based on the internet)."
