IP TV Times: Twenty Five Years Gone - Startups in 1990 and 2015
http://www.iptvtimes.net/2015/06/twenty-five-years-gone-startups-in-1990.html
Friday, June 19, 2015. Twenty Five Years Gone - Startups in 1990 and 2015. Well, it's been an interesting few months. I've been gearing up to my first major business launch for a while, a mere 25 years since I started my first company. Since graduating in Radio, Film and Television I had been a runner, a special effects film editor, a cameraman, a financial PR exec and a marketing exec in five short years. It was clear that I wasn't very good at working for other people. It is far easier for anyone to fi...

Monday, March 30, 2015. The Television Of Politics. So, here we go, here we go, here we go. The UK airwaves are relatively full of politicians. Milliband, the Labour leader, who looks and sounds dreadful on TV seems to be doing well, whilst the ultra smooth Cameron seems to be running scared from the cameras, and the plethora of minority parties are changing the face of the dual system which has largely ruled British politics for centuries. Friday, March 27, 2015. Major Changes Ahead For European Media.

Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Around 1996, when I was running a mutlimedia company distributing video on CDI and CD-ROM the internet came along and by 1997 I was doing webcasts for the likes of Shell and Orange, and by 1998 for MTV. I was convinced that the future of TV was over the internet. After all, delivery of content was a nightmare. You produced for broadcast on a small number of channels, or release on VHS or then DVD. It was a tough business. That was not what I saw back in the day. Instead, deliveri...

IP TV Times: Telco and Media Are Miles Apart
http://www.iptvtimes.net/2015/06/telco-and-media-are-miles-apart.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. Telco and Media Are Miles Apart. Well that was an interesting visit to the LTE World Forum in Amsterdam. It's been a while since I've interfaced withe the mobile industry and what I encountered was worrying. What is even more concerning was the chasm that still seems to exist between the telco and media worlds, considering the size of some of the cross industry deals going on at the moment.

Friday, May 29, 2015. Hail Blatter, King Of All You Football Fans! If you want any idea of how football has totally corrupted the world we live in, don't visit Switzerland and delve into the myre that is FIFA. Don't even bother worrying about the million pound a week salaries at the top if the game. No, turn to a club that was set up to challenge the status quo. Turn to United FC of Manchester, set up by disenchanted Manchester Utd fans when their clubs were taken over in an LBO by an American family.

IP TV Times: BBC Suffers A Death Of A Thousand Cuts
http://www.iptvtimes.net/2015/07/bbc-suffers-death-of-thousand-cuts.html
Monday, July 06, 2015. BBC Suffers A Death Of A Thousand Cuts. The BBC is probably the most admired broadcasting organisation in the world. When your budget is equivalent to that of all your main commercial rivals and paid for by a Royal Charter based on minimal accountability, perhaps you can understand how this unique institution evolved. The world's biggest aspidistra (look it up) exists to inform, educate and entertain, a mandate it has had for nearly a century now. Meanwhile, the Conservative Party ...

Friday, July 24, 2015. Plugge It To The EU. In 1931 a suave Brit called Leonard Plugge visited the owners of the Benedictine distillery in a small town on the Northern French coast to see their transmitter. In an eureka moment (possibly lubricated by his guests' product), he decided to take on the BBC who, on Sundays especially, only broadcast a rather heavy schedule of sermons and church services. Why do I relate this obscure, if important, piece of trivia from the history of the media. There is nothing...

Friday, February 27, 2015. Will We All End Up Paying For Net Neutrality? So Net Neutrality hasn't just been upheld, but hase been compared to the First Amendment by FCC supreme, Tom Wheeler. The statement is well worth a read. Verizon's rather petulant response was to issue a terse release from an old fashioned typewriter in morse code. The EU now regards internet access as a human right, the UK Government is running farcical ads claiming that Brits have great broadband whilst the reality is the opposite...
