Ahead of the Carter report it is claimed that Lord Carter will
recommend that some of the BBC's annual revenue should be used to fund regional news services on ITV and broadband for all.
The money will come from the so called digital surplus
the £800 million built into the present six-year licence fee settlement, which began in 2007, to help older and disabled people complete the switch to digital television by supplying them with set top boxes. This is scheduled to be completed by 2012.
The surplus is reckoned to be around £250m
