[backstage] BBC TV for expats?
Now then all, When the BBC is thinking about making content available on the web, is it considering foreign markets? Here in the US we have BBC America which is frankly rubbish and contains mainly shows selling antiques and Benny Hill re-runs. What many of us expats crave for are good documentaries from BBC 2/4. I realise that there are rights issues with a lot of stuff which is why we can't listen to live sports on the BBC radio player, but can this be got round if there is an international BBC licence fee. With a million ex-pats alone in the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area in the north- east US, then I think it would be something worth pursuing. Myself and friends that I talk to would love to stump up some cash if it meant we got access to these programs. For now though, long live UK Nova and other services ...

RE: [backstage] A couple of things including Arrington
If that's you in the background going WHAT?!, I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments. The whole point of the BBC, at least to me, is that as it's insulated to an extent from wider market forces, that is what gives it the freedom to innovate to a greater extent and spend more on RD, to bring those innovations to market and help develop the standards more than many other broadcasters. The public service remit is unique in that it's looking out for the consumer, not just the broadcaster, and if he doesn't see that (or he's been put off by the meagre output of BBC America, which is a separate branch of the Beeb anyway, right?) then he's a bit of an idiot. And here's me thinking he actually had a bit of nouse when it comes to future tech... Arrington should stick to reporting on indie Web 2.0 startups and leave criticism or appraisal of the BBC and its output to people who get a use from it - us crazy embracers know a good thing when we see it (and I for one gladly pay that license fee!) I absolutely _LOVE_ that pregnant pause after your man explains about the Public Value Test. Arrington didn't see that one coming. :D -Original Message- From: Mr I Forrester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 February 2007 15:44 To: BBC Backstage Subject: [backstage] A couple of things including Arrington Hi All, The video form the 1st Backstage podcast is now up - http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/news/archives/2007/02/bbc_backstage _p_1.html and you might want to check out the comments from Mike TechCrunch Arrington on the BBC - http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/news/archives/2007/02/michael_arringt.html Cheers, Ian - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] HD-DVD how DRM was defeated
Dave, The fact you deliberately linked to the print version of Vanity Fair - thus removing the chance of the publishers to earn money from your visit from advertising, and/or effectively market the other content on their website, is very telling. I am deeply sorry that you don't want people to earn money from creative work; and disappointed that you object to the idea that content-creators need to control the distribution of their content. You've made your point very clearly on this list a number of times. It's now turning from charmingly naive discussion to something rather more irritating. Perhaps, for the sake of all our sanity, I could leave it with this real-world observation, that I hope even you agree with. - Some content-creators will want to have 'Content Restriction And Protection' on their content. - Some content-creators will choose not to have 'crap' in their content. - It's the content-creators choice to have crap in their content or not. - Some consumers won't want content with crap in it. - But some consumers won't care whether the content has crap in it or not. - Ultimately, the consumer will choose whether they want crap or no crap. - Content-creators may gain more benefit from controlling the use of their crappy content. - But content-creators may gain more benefit from leaving the crap out of their content. - The gamble for the content-creator is whether to put the crap in or leave the crap out. - Content-creators need to make the right individual choice. - Consumers need to make the right individual choice. - We both need to understand and respect each other's right to choose. -- http://james.cridland.net/

IMO the idea that the PM (or any branch of government) should step in to legislate what should and should not be shown on television is a slightly scary prospect You would think the market would decide. Seeing as Pay DTT has been one failure after another, I have to wonder why Sky would really want to get involved in Pay DTT, especially when it would be incompatible with every DTT receiver out there (so they'd have to subsidize boxes, something that worked so well for ON Digital). If it's anything like the Sky By Wire service on Homechoice, it'll be overpriced compared to the DSAT offerings, so I doubt many Freeviewers will be tempted. And if they did offer it for a reasonable price, they might start cannibalizing their DSAT viewers. Oh, and Sky were prevented once by the OFT from having any part in the terrestrial encyption system, as they were part of the British Digital Broadcasting group that became Ondigital. Anyway, aren't Ofcom the people to complain to about this and not the online petitions site (which, as the recent road charging and ID card petitions has shown, doesn't appear to influence anything anyway)? People did and Ofcom ignored them... http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/paytv/responses/ If anyone can get over 1.8 million people to sign in six months, then the newspapers will have another feeding frenzy. And I recon there are 13.5 million receivers out there, with 7 million homes being 'Freeview only', so plenty of people to sign.
