This Blog Posting from the BBC's Director of Future Media and Technology really illustrates the power of an open device. The Neuros OSD is being considered along with devices from the biggest brands in the world, and effectively leapfrogging a whole host of other global brands, both big and small. I'd love to take credit for this, but the truth is the credit rightly belongs to the free software movement. The BBC is right to consider the OSD because it is an open box. It's just natural that the BBC, all things being equal, would prefer to invest time and effort in integrating with an open solution v a proprietary one. It's also likely that if there are enough entities like the BBC, that the open solution will be likely to gain critical mass and prevail in the marketplace. The "ifs" and "all things being equal" in the previous sentences bear a lot of weight and we know that the big companies have a lot of resources to bring to bear to this, but the mere fact that we're in consideration speaks volumes. The BBC is not the only entity to inquire with Neuros and we certainly hope this is harbinger of more good things to come!
