Google Bridges the Gap Between Internet & TVIn a blow to the newly active Chairman and Chief Executive of ITV, the Competition
Commission have this morning definitively ruled that the CRR remedy, (which allows buyers
of advertising airtime to renew their existing contracts with ITV, with investment adjusted to
reflect the change in ITV1’s audience share), will be maintained for the foreseeable future.
The only concession that the Commission has made to ITV’s extensive lobbying is an
amendment to include viewers delivered by the ITV1+1 and ITV1HD channels.
Yesterday, Google launched the much anticipated Google TV platform, a collaboration with Sony, Intel and Logitech, which attempts to bridge the gap between the internet and the TV. After months of speculation, Google announced that Google TV, is in fact, an open source platform which not only brings the web to the living room, but also empowers audiences to experience TV with the added capabilities of the internet.Yesterday, Google launched the much anticipated Google TV platform, a collaboration with Sony, Intel and Logitech, which attempts to bridge the gap between the internet and the TV.
