Project Canvas could be in 3.5 million homes by 2014

The internet-based TV platform Canvas, which is being developed by terrestrial TV companies based in the UK, could reach around 3.5 million households by 2014.

According to a report by Screen Digest, the BBC has a great record in building new platforms such as the iPlayer and Freeview, and all the BBC has to wait for with Canvas is for the project to be approved by the regulators.

However, a platform such as this is going to be a serious threat to pay TV providers like Sky TV.

This is the main issue that faces the development of Project Canvass.

There is already a war of words regarding BSkyB’s dominance of the pay TV market, which is something that the broadcaster is going to have to fight for, as well as looking out for potential competition from Project Canvas.
