Notes:
The TV Anytime Forum develops specifications for services based on consumer digital storage devices, such as the TiVo (who are one of the forum members). Australian forum members include Nine Network Australia. The forum will meet in Sydney in November 2002. Curiously the TV Anytime web pages are marked with a BBC R&D Copyright notice.The Forum has Working Groups on: Business Models, Content Referencing and Location, Metadata, Rights Management and Protection, System and Transport. Metadata will be discussed in detail, but the Business Models work is unusual (and commendable) in a technical standards body
