At long blooming last!
The BBC Trust has approved Project Canvas, the next-generation IPTV platform designed to provide a unified method of delivering BBC, ITV, C4 and Five programmes to the UK.
Delivery over broadband gives Canvas UK wide coverage from day 1. So no wonder Sky and Virgin are bothered. Maybe this will give the incumbants the kick up the jacksy they need to innovate in their offerings.
Sky could have been delivering IPTV for a couple of years now, they’ve seriously dragged their feet.
And Virgin are only starting to roll out their IP-based network.
Canvas has BT and TalkTalk as partners, arguably the two biggest names in UK broadband, so the future’s looking bright.
Now where’s my Canvas box? I fancy some beta-testing!
