BBC to offer television channels online
The BBC’s TV channels could be made available on the internet according to a story on its website. The proposed plan would include a simulcast of BBC One or BBC Two, letting UK viewers see programmes on the web at the same time as they go out on TV. Proposals to make clips available on mobile phones are also being speeded up, director of TV Jana Bennett said following an announcement earlier in the week that a classic episodes of Doctor Who and Red Dwarf are being made available. A player to let viewers watch shows on the internet for a week after they have been broadcast on TV is also in development.

Verizon, the leading cell phone company here in the Real World, are blitzing the ad world with info on their new TV service available on your mobile.
And 24, that TV show on Fox, has made 24 1 minute episodes just for cell phones, a mini side plot.
Yahoo! is doing some big stuff with TV, too, and so is ESPN – the worldwide sports network – who already have something like 2 million viewers on their Internet TV channel.
