The story here is that Bitish educational publishers are gettig together to protest the BBC's plans to "monopolize" the digital broadcasting in the nation's schools. But what the broadcasters really don't like - as a writer to SEUL-EDU suggests - is that the broadcasters don't like the idea that British schools are getting a free service when they could be making money; as Chris Puttick wrote, "RM, the biggest player in that consortium, are MCSPs and proprietary, closed source, licence types, through and through. The BBC content was going to be free anyway, and web-based. Nice try though..." I think the broadcasters would also like to try showing a few commercials to a captive student audience a la the U.S.'s Channel One.
