Media Brief

I'm the BBC's media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what's going on.

Ofcom has proposed that BT's fibre lines should be opened to rival firms such as Sky and TalkTalk to encourage the rollout of super-fast broadband across the UK reports the BBC and Reuters.

Google has stopped censoring its search service in China and moved it to Hong Kong. The move has been condemned by the Chinese government according to the Guardian and the BBC.

Peter Allis remembers his fellow commentator Harry Carpenter, the BBC's voice of boxing, who also covered golf, the Boat Race and many other sports reports the Daily Mail and the BBC.

The Guardian reports that ITV1 will show England's first two World Cup games in June. BBC One will show the team's first two matches at the knock-out stage, if it gets that far.

Ofcom has ruled that GMTV was wrong to allow its consumer expert to promote his website on the station reports the BBC.

The lobbying-for-cash allegations involving former ministers continue to be explored in the papers, as does Sam Cam's need for a pram, as reflected in the BBC newspaper review.
