The European average of television users is about 98%.
TV is considered as "an easy-to-use device".
People tend to consider TV broadcasted contents as reliable.
The ability of television to reach people and offer training is higher than any other system.
TV fulfils the need to diversify the media according to lifelong learning.
Access to satellite receiving technology implies such low costs that they are not influenced by socio-economic conditions.
