The BBC Trust, the corporation's governing body, has given a provisional go-ahead for a project which could kick-start demand for internet TV. Project Canvas is a partnership to develop a so-called Internet Protocol Television standard. It would see a range of set-top boxes available to access on-demand TV services such as iPlayer and ITVplayer. Set-top boxes, expected to cost around £200, could be available next year. Users will also be able to access internet services such as Facebook, YouTube and Flickr via their TVs. However, the success of Project Canvas could be jeopardised by the increasing number of internet-ready TVs available on the market. Analyst firm Futuresource predicts that 20% of flat-screen TVs shipped in Europe next year will have internet connectivity.
