Summary of new information on Canvas

It’s hard to know whether it was the Friday-lunchtime release, or if there is some sort of Project Canvas fatigue (already!?), but the additional information on Project Canvas released by BBC management has received very little coverage so far.

Here is a summary of what we’ve seen written so far:

• The most comprehensive, no-nonsense summary of points is this post at PaidContentUK. I won’t repeat it all here, but go have a look.
• Broadband TV News in this article covers the the co-operation: how DTG (Digital Tv Group) will work closely with Canvas, as well as open up their membership to ISPs.
• Brand Republic / Media Week focus on the timetable and timings, leading with the feted 2010 launch. Article here.
• The FT’s article from Sat’s print edition has a nice general summary, as well as mentioning the EPG prioritisation issue, and that there will be plenty of commercial opportunities.

And here is the BBC Trust’s statement from Friday, and each section of the additional info (all PDFs): S.1 Venture proposal,  S.2 EPG and enabling access for content and service providers , S.3 The agreement of the Canvas specification and industry engagement, S.4 IP distribution and related issues, S.5 ‘Project Canvas’ and fit with wider BBC platform strategy , S.6 Costs.

[Update] There’s also a reaction here from @Nevali.  And @BenedictEvans has some thoughts in his tweets.
