Hello world!

October 10th, 2006

Welcome to the Vogel Ross blog.

This is where Peter Vogel and Duncan Ross (late of IceTV Pty Ltd) will keep you updated on the world of New Media.

In coming weeks we will be posting our commentary on the lawsuit brought by the Nine Network who allege that IceTV breach its copyright by producing a program guide for their channel.

This will be a seminal case because it could determine the future availability of interactive TV guides to the Australian public.

Stay tuned!

Note: neither Duncan Ross nor I work for IceTV any more, so these are purely my personal observations.

    Why the ‘parting of ways’ from ICE TV Peter?

    Because the IPO stalled, the company had to cut costs significantly, and to maintain the guide production/delivery capability the casualties were at the “non-operational” end.

    Stick it to em.
    They are on one hand endorsing the pvr market, and on the other hand being litigious to you guys.
    All meanwhile playing the victim about ‘save FTA sport’.

    And the person that will inevitably suffer? The viewer.
    The power we have? Diddly squat.

    Ahh well. Enough ranting.
