BBC and IPTV: Project Canvas
The BBC Trust invited the Open Source Consortium
to respond to their proposals on Project Canvas,
a joint venture partnership to help enable the
delivery of internet protocol television (IPTV).
Gerry Gavigan, the OSC's chairman, has prepared and submitted that response.
The BBC's consultation paper does not address some of the most influential
market-related and standards-related issues,
which are specified and explained in the OSC's response.
And the OSC recommends that Project Canvas' specifications
should be fully open, published and properly used by the project,
so that anybody can provide solutions on any platform.
