BBC Canvas - a partnership between the BBC, ITV, BT, Five, Channel 4 and TalkTalk to develop an Internet Protocol Television (IPT) standard – has finally been given the green light by the BBC Trust. Tony Foggett, head of Manchester digital marketing agency Code Computerlove, was fortunate enough to spend time with the BBC’s Future Media and Technology department, who was responsible for driving through the project. He believes Canvas is one of the most exciting innovations the TV industry has seen since the arrival of colour and comments on how it will affect the advertising and marketing industry.
