IIRC, BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 had a plan to collaborate on a common 
system for providing media over the internet - at present they (and 
other channels like Five) have their own different and incompatible 
systems.

Our competition people squashed that on the basis that it would 
stifle competition.

Notice Sky complained ! Sky complaining about lack of competition, 
very much Pot Kettle, and a dark colour !

Still, another collaboration got announced, this time going for openness.
