[backstage] Not BBC related - 4IP

2008-07-08 Thread Matt Barber
Hi, wondering who's seen this:
http://www.4ip.org.uk/about

Delivering effective, high quality public service media in an increasingly
digital age is still pioneer territory and a real challenge ...

Channel 4 has decided to take up that challenge in a radical way by forming
the 4 Innovation for the Public (4IP) fund.

The 4IP Fund aims to deliver publicly valuable content and services on
digital media platforms with significant impact and in sustainable ways. It
represents one of the biggest and most exciting calls-to-action for new and
emergent digital media companies in the UK.

Mentioning it because it may open more opportunities to play with content
and have fun with technology. I'm looking at it for the first time so don't
know much right now, but may see some interesting mashups depending on what
is available? So does anyone have any thoughts? I'd rather keep the thread
towards the more technical and less political, but you know, any views are
welcome.

by providing content you agree Channel 4 may use it, copy it and make any
part of it available on the Site, other internet sites, mobile, television,
radio and/or any other media channel in any format.

Nice.  That's public service for you.
