Microsoft: a global warning?

Article Abstract:

US personal computer company Microsoft has invested in several diverse areas of the media industry but is keen to play down its potential future influence. Investments have included broacaster NBC, computer graphics Softimage and internet service provider WebTV Networks. Microsoft sees televisions and computers intelligently linked in the future and its joint ventures in the media market are an extention of its overall strategy rather than an agressive move. By joining forces with Microsoft, companies receive a cash injection and many have seen their market value rise.

Article Abstract:

BBC Network Television is rumoured to have signed a deal with BBC Resources to keep studio-based programmes in-house. Details of a document entitled 'TSPR - Planning for Growth' have been leaked, and it seems producers will now have little choice in where their films are made and edited. It is suggested that independent producers, including ITV companies, are being pressured to use in-house facilities.
