Ben Griffin’s Summary

We're working to radically change the structure of traditional broadcast media; Using clever combination of new media technology, and the submerged potentials of the old.

We're developing this into a platform that is truly networked, open and democratic, and that can be deployed robustly at minimal cost, in a sector that we believe has great tactical potential.

Though we're developing it here in the west, ultimately we're aiming to take the platform to where it is most powerful, and most needed i.e. to the majority world, more commonly known as the 'Third'.
