productive for the Beeb? What with him joining the Digital Media
team, and
with his vast experience in content distribution... Certainly, the
core
strategy and architecture of the iPlayer doesn't seem to have
changed (an
albeit more streamlined Kontiki experience, but still with the same
MSDRM
and still transmitted via the same means) - I've certainly not seen
any
particular innovations past what's already there.
Yes, Anthony has made an enormous difference to the iPlayer project
and FM&T in general.
I obviously can't say too much, but as someone who was so frustrated
with the iPlayer project almost a year ago that I tried to write my
own interface, I'm much happier with the way things are now and the
way they are going.
