  • non-public service broadcasters could become partners
  • 9 comments
  • nothing the BBC could say that is going get BskyB on board
  • accept the proposals
  • for the benefit of Licence fee payers
  • the model behind it is horribly flawed
  • threat to BSkyB (and it's SSSL gatekeeper company)
  • Sky has a stranglehold
  • satellites are fixed in their bandwidth
  • unwillingness to compete with a superior platform
  • unedifying blaming the BBC
  • Sky (as it's role as an ISP) got the BBC to ban pre-loading from the iPlayer
  • why it doesn't automatically get new episodes
  • in technical terms Project Canvas has the potential to be a very good thing
  • Moore's law operates on broadband lines
  • people are already finding other ways to access the iPlayer legally (or illegally) on a TV
  • painful to 'watch' this process
  • BSkyB's attempts to stonewall something the public clearly want is futile
  • The Trust should show some balls by greenlighting Canvas
  • truly open platform
  • Yet another attempt for SKY and the Murdoch Empire
  • hope the BBC Trust think more about the abilities of Licence Fee payers (and Taxpayers) and speed up this project
  • for the benefit of the whole population
