UK: BBC makes TV programmes viewable on Open Source, no downloads
Open Source News - 18 October 2007 - United Kingdom - General
The British public-service broadcaster BBC will be using Flash software by
Adobe to allow users of Mac OS X and Linux based computers to view but not
download TV programmes, the broadcaster announced earlier this week.
When the BBC launched its iPlayer software in July, it was criticised by
the
Open Source Consortium, an Open Source advocacy group, for making this
application available only for computer users who run the Microsoft
proprietary operating systems. The advocacy group compared this to making
public TV available only for certain make of television.
This week the BBC announced it would also make its programs available
using
Adobe's Flash software. This means that at the end of the year, most if
not
all computer users can use a web browser to watch TV programmes, explained
Ashley Highfield, the BBC's director of Future Media and Technology.
Whereas the iPlayer allows PC users to download programmes, the Flash
based
application will not. In an interview with the BBC, Highfield said the
broadcaster will also not be making a seperate version of iPlayer for Mac
and Linux users. "We need to get the streaming service up and look at the
ratio of consumption between the services and then we need to look long
and
hard at whether we build a download service for Mac and Linux. It comes
down to cost per person and reach at the end of the day."
