ABSTRACT
The article discusses the controversy surrounding the suspension of the launch of the television (TV)-on-demand campaign of YouView until 2012. Screen Digest senior analyst Dan Cryan tells that the delay is caused by concern of YouView in terms of competing against Sky and the popularity of iPlayer in the British Web-based TV market. The postponed programme is worth 115 million pounds and would cover shows from TV networks including British Broadcasting Corp., TalkTalk and ITV.
