Post subject:  BBC consultation on on-demand services
For people in the UK the BBC is having a consultation about it proposed on-demand services

Quote:
The proposed new services

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)


One of the questions (Q5) concerns how important it is that these services work with non MS software.

So if anyone would like to take part maybe we can ensure that this content is available for linux.

Not that I like in the UK, but as I see it... The EU, is one of the most vocal voices against the M$ monopoly. By only having MS only solution, they will continue to feed this monopoly. Please feel free to use that argument. :)

I'll do that too.
I would hate for the BBC to cut me out of these exciting new services just because I'm not a M$ customer. I pay my license fee and for that I expect, nay demand, I have access to what I pay for.
