Abstract

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die speziellen Wettbewerbsprobleme, die durch die ökonomischen Besonderheiten auf Medienmärkten entstehen, sowie entsprechende Regulierungs- und Wettbewerbspolitikansätze zur Adressierung dieser. Zunächst werden die ökonomischen Charakteristika und Besonderheiten von Medienmärkten dargelegt und die Ziele einer wettbewerblichen Regulierung dieser erörtert (Kapitel 1). Daraufhin werden die drei klassischen Säulen des Wettbewerbsrechts - Fusionskontrolle (Kapitel 2), Missbrauchsaufsicht (Kapitel 3) und Kartellverbot (Kapitel 4) - vorgestellt und ihre Anwendung auf Medienmärkte detailliert analysiert. Anschließend widmet sich das Kapitel speziellen Regulierungsinstrumenten im Medienbereich (Kapitel 5). Abschließend bietet der Beitrag einen Ausblick auf aktuelle und zukünftige Entwicklungen und Herausforderungen (Kapitel 6).
