James, son of 'billionaire tyrant' Rupert Murdoch and former head of Sky has blasted the BBCs iPlayer service saying it is “squashing a lot of competitors...I’m not saying it is a bad product, but I am saying it does crowd out competition and innovation."
Our opinion? The other companies involved in putting content on the web have access to the same technology as the Beeb, it's just that they haven't done as good a job as the BBC. OK, so the BBC doesn't need advertising, but 4oD does, and that is on a par with the iPlayer.
