Recommendation 9

9 Paragraph: 53

Change the prominence descriptor from "appropriate" to "significant" for public service content.

Recommendation
User interfaces on connected devices are very different to Electronic Programming Guides. The breadth of ways in which user interfaces can be designed means that what prominence looks like will vary considerably from device to device. What matters is ensuring that public service content is always carried and easy to find. We consider that changing the descriptor from “appropriate” to “significant” would be less open to interpretation and better meet the aims of the Bill. We recommend that the descriptor for prominence is changed from “appropriate” to “significant”.
