      Bloody Rupert Murdoch and co…
  • 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

  • mired in a complicated approval process
  • delays in the consultation process

If we get those and they are pointing in the right direction – if they are positive – then I am fairly confident that it is possible to launch in 2010, although it will be towards the end of 2010. “If we do not get those, I’m afraid we will not be able to launch until 2011.”
  • £6 million over five years
  • to develop the technology needed

  • That conclusion will then go out for still more industry consultation
  • potential to unify
  • disparate TV pull-VOD solutions
  • Sky and Virgin Media (NSDQ: VMED), are skeptical
  • invited to place their content on the platform together and offered capabilities
  • Sky and Virgin opposition now carries with it a very real chance the trust could rule Canvas out
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I hope not!
  • the trust could take the bold view that harmonising all these services would be both beneficial and innovative
