The article takes up the example of online news-services to describe the overall purpose of Germany's public broadcasting corporation within the new networks of electronic media. It argues that the rise of the Internet is an evolutionary jump in the history of media.

Rather, a new constitutional type of conflict of law rules should be inaugurated to cope with the rising economic competition between public and private online news-services.
