I don't know the ins and outs of this announcement, but it may just be related
to something we've been discussing elsewhere. Over neutral Internet broadband
service, there should be no need for any "third party" to offer this sort of
service. The content owners should be doing this online service on their own,
or they can create whatever combined site they like, on their own.

SeeSaw to close in June
On demand TV website SeeSaw.com is to close down next month.
Following a strategic review of its business activities, SeeSaw's parent
company Arqiva has announced it is no longer able to support the service.
An Arqiva spokesman told the DTG: "SeeSaw is an excellent service and has
provided invaluable insight into the online TV market in the UK. But it no
longer fits with the strategic direction in which we are taking Arqiva and
requires considerable investment to succeed in an increasingly competitive
market. We have tried to find an investment partner, however this has not
proved possible."
An announcement on the SeeSaw.com blog reads: "As it will soon be 'goodbye'
from SeeSaw, we'd like to take this opportunity to say a big 'thanks' for all
your support, custom and loyalty over the last 16 months. We're a small team
but we hope we've made a big difference and that you've had fun watching TV
with us."
