After Newspapers - Who's Next?
,----[ Quote ]
| Newspapers are dying - or so you might gather
| from articles like this...
|
| [...]
|
| Two things are notable here. The first, and
| perhaps most relevant to readers of this blog,
| is that one of the key characteristics of the
| proposed standards is that they will be open.
| The other is that the press release quoted above
| is deliciously ambiguous in the way it flits
| between talking about Internet radio - the
| apparent focus - and Internet media.
|
| Internet radio is a sensible place to start,
| since it's already well developed and
| flourishing. It's ripe for the establishment
| of some open, interoperable standards. But as
| the other word "media" hints, radio is just
| the start. Once you have a radio platform,
| turning it into a media platform is relatively
| straightforward, because of the way the
| Internet works. Thanks to network neutrality
| (and we all support that, don't we?), a bit
| is a bit is a bit: there's no inherent
| difference between an Internet radio
| platform, and one for Internet TV, say.

| Parliament was assured the job would be
| advertised externally. This has not
| happened, protest former BBC World
| Services bosses and Russian scholars
