Europe is WAY ahead of the curb
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 |It’s shocking how far ahead the Europeans are some times when it comes to technology. Here’s one example: Not only is the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) streaming 100% of their content for free from their home page www.nrk.no but now they have set up an entire sub-division to focus solely on web-video related activity. The new project called NRKBETA is designed to teach people about video on the web - so pretty much what this blog is all about.
Just to illustrate how far ahead they are, read the article about how they are making a hugely popular show available DRM free through BitTorrent. How long do you think it’s going to take before the major US networks do the same? “Never” seems like a pretty good bet to me.
They have some articles in English but for the most part it’s in good old fashioned Norsk.
