Whose pipe is it anyway?
The two sessions by the folks from the BBC at EuroFoo were really thought-provoking (check my blog from Saturday for details). I have no idea whether other broadcasting companies are doing the same sort of work - but to me the BBC seems to be pouring a lot of time and money into working out - just where broadcasting is heading. In her session, Paula Ledieu talked about how the Internet is changing the way the BBC operates and how effort is now going into things such as the creative archive, using the Net as the broadcast "pipe" and how the Beeb is even doing games R&D. The BBC and games? The mind boggles.
I would really like to know whether license funded broadcasting companies in Germany (ARD, ZDF) are doing the same sort of stuff - are they? And if not - why not?
