![]() He kind of have you read the book Business Model You. We were very close friends in that we were together, I think in a dinner and he just sat to me.

I like to share with you something that I was really interested about sharing about the business model, relating to the project manager, how you can build your business model about your career, but before let me talk you how this happened in my life to think about this business model. ![]() The transcript is generated automatically by Podscribe, Sonix, Otter and other electronic transcription services.Hello everybody welcome to the five minutes PM podcast today.

Rather than being a 'positive market impact', we would suggest it's a market distortion." He added that as the second biggest ISP in the UK, for TalkTalk there was "a real risk of it not happening if we did not take part".Ī Sky source responded: "We would suggest that it's not the role of the licence fee to support the triple play ambitions of TalkTalk and BT, who are both big enough to fund their own aspirations. The more we looked at Canvas and the partners involved it seemed more of a complete service at a lower risk." "We had a long think about whether we should try and re-energise it in existing form or see what else was going on. "We had a decision to make when we bought Tiscali and inherited HomeChoice, which had not bought set-top boxes for two years," Dunstone said. The trust said that the service would have a "positive market impact in that it will offer the opportunity to ISPs and device manufacturers willing to adopt the Canvas UI a ready-made easy access way to develop a platform offering content to TV viewers". In December the BBC Trust published its provisional conclusions giving Project Canvas the green light. "The shareholders of Canvas see the OFT decision as a very, very important step forward," Dunstone said. The service is now awaiting the final verdict of the BBC Trust, unless there are further competition investigations. The clearance from the OFT was critical, he added. When asked if he expected to see further challenges to the legitimacy of the venture, Dunstone said: "I'm sure there will be other people with vested interests that will put their position forward." In its ruling earlier this week the OFT indicated that while Project Canvas had been cleared of breaking regulations surrounding mergers it could still be subject to the "application of other provisions of competition law and other relevant legislation". "There has been some debate over how to get there but not what it is ultimately going to do." "The good thing is that everyone who went into it had a clear idea of the product that will be produced," he said. It has to be easy and simple enough for customers to use."ĭunstone admitted that there had been arguments over strategy among the seven partners in Canvas, but dismissed this as natural debate on the road to what was a clear long-term goal. "It is being done in the most democratic way possible – it will work with any internet service provider, for example. "There needs to be a certain discipline about the platform and what you use," he said. Canvas is empowering all kinds of people to bring services to the market."ĭunstone dismissed accusations that TV rivals and hardware companies, such as set-top-box manufacturers, would be unfairly forced to adopt a Project Canvas user interface, effectively the look and feel of the onscreen experience, to be a partner. Now people can access the same content via different channels. What is happening is the unbundling of TV – historically, content was attached to the person who was in control of the delivery mechanism. "Canvas is a completely open platform, anyone can join it. "I am a very fair person and very pro competition but I do find it hard to accept their criticism," said Dunstone, speaking to .uk. Virgin Media has argued that despite its protestations to the contrary Project Canvas, which will bring VoD content to TV viewers with Freeview and Freesat receivers, is an unfair closed platform. BSkyB has argued that Project Canvas, and particularly its backing by the licence fee-funded BBC, amounts to giving its rivals an unfair leg up in the nascent UK VoD market.
