At Plusnet we want to keep moving forwards and have more people aware of our brand and products. To aid this, we’ll soon be sponsoring the ITV daily London weather.

As you can see there aren’t any big changes to the ‘look and feel’ of Plusnet.  The familiar sunny landscape has been given life and we hope that these ‘idents’ will help get our brand and products more widely known.

We’ve been given a fantastic opportunity in the London area to make this happen. The first ident will be seen on the 24th July, if you want a sneak peak take a look below.

Breaking news: A partnership comprising the BBC, BT and ITV has just announced a plan to bring a new common industry approach to deliver on-demand TV over broadband, dubbed ‘Project Canvas’.

The full press release is available on the ITV website, but here’s a taster.

“The BBC, ITV and BT today are joining together to work as partners to promote a common industry approach and consumer offer to deliver on demand TV over broadband. The initiative is open for all public service broadcasters, device developers and other ISPs.”

It sounds like this might be an initiative big enough to truly bring TV over broadband from the PC onto the TV. We’re big fans of the BBC iPlayer and like the sound of something that could build on that success. The service will work alongside Freeview and Freesat. Here’s a quote from Ian Livingston, BT’s CEO:

“Television and broadband are a compelling combination. Together they can offer live TV along with an unrivalled choice of on demand content and interactive services. It will mean that you can watch what you want whenever you want on your television. We are looking forward to working with The BBC, ITV and other internet service providers to support an open standard for the free to air market in the UK.”

As we find out more we’ll let you know…
