The EAA covers consumer terminals used to access AV media services and e-readers (products), and services providing access to AV media services (incl. EPGs) and e-books/dedicated software (services) after 28 June 2025, not AV content itself. The 28 June 2030 transition lets service providers keep using products already in use; it is not a general deadline extension. Microenterprises providing services are exempt.
