BBC公司不支持开源软件受到批评

来源: 作者: 时间:2007-02-09 Tag: 点击:
 开源软件社团(Open Source Consortium)日前发表声明谴责英国BBC公司,因为该公司的用户点播系统将用户完全束缚在了Windows平台。来自BBC的介绍,他们的最新推出的按需点播服务将只能够服务于那些使用Windows的用户,且要升级到最新版本。

  但是OSC认为BBC公司的做法有违公平竞争。在一个新兴的成长迅速的市场中不支持开源软件,是对开源软件的一种打压。作为BBC广播公司,一个在全球非常有声誉的媒体,有失公平。

  The Open Source Consortium (OSC) has slammed the BBC over plans to lock online TV viewers into Microsoft products.

  The accusations come after the BBC announced that its new on-demand services will be limited to Microsoft Windows.

  A report from the BBC Trust said that services will be unavailable to consumers who do not use Microsoft software or have an up-to-date version of Windows.

  But the OSC believes this is anti-competitive, and would be in breach of the broadcaster's charter by using public funds to develop and promote the service.

  OSC chief executive Iain Roberts said: "Our members are competing hard in a fast-moving market and winning new customers every day.

  "Seeing their licence fee going to advertise one of their largest competitors is not acceptable, especially from the BBC which has a duty to be unbiased. We want the BBC to reject any moves that restrict consumer choice."

  The BBC already has an agreement with Real over use of its RealPlayer software for radio broadcasting, and the announcement of a tie in with Microsoft will be a boost to the company's visibility, as the BBC is investing heavily in online TV for its worldwide audience.
