Project Kangaroo – aka SeeSaw

See-Saw

Project Kangaroo

Not totally sure whether this was won or lost because the project as a business model fell through shortly after pitching….
Taken from Wikipedia
Kangaroo was the working title for a proposed video on demand platform offering content from BBC Worldwide (the commercial arm of the BBC), ITV.com and Channel 4’s 4oD, initially expected to launch in 2008, but blocked by the Competition Commission in 2009.[1][2] Unlike the BBC iPlayer, which is publicly funded and has no plans to carry any paid content, Kangaroo would have allowed users to purchase content from a large back catalogue. As noted below, the plan to link to content on BBC iPlayer means that it would have provided a single broadband VOD service for the key three broadcasters in the UK. It should be noted that Kangaroo is the project name; the final name and brand of the service was never announced, but it was believed it would have been known as SeeSaw.
