[Sheflug] BBC On-Demand Consultation

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

The BBC is asking for feedback on how it should deliver on-demand 
content.

One of the questions is -   "How important is it that the proposed 
seven-day catch-up service over the internet is available to 
consumers who are not using Microsoft software?"

I think this might be about avoiding the problem of the British tax 
payer paying an American corporation millions of dollars for content 
that was produced in the UK in the first place.

"The BBC Trust is carrying out its first Public Value Test (PVT) â a 
new procedure that must be applied when the Trust considers 
applications from BBC management for the approval of new BBC 
services. 

<title>The proposed new services</title>

The BBC's Executive has been developing proposals to offer BBC 
programmes and content 'on demand'. They made an application last 
August for the following:

    * Seven-day TV catch-up over the internet
    * Seven-day TV catch-up over cable
    * Simulcast TV over the internet (streaming of live television 		
       networks)
    * Non-digital rights management (DRM) audio downloads over the 
       internet (podcasting of selected radio programmes) "
