Richard Halton – the man fronting Project Canvas – has insisted that the IPTV partnership can overcome the objections of other major UK broadcasters, and offered his congratulations to its harshest critic Sky for the constructive nature of its submission to the BBC Trust.

Although it has been granted a preliminary greenlight from the BBC Trust, it will wait for the Office of Fair Trading to look into the partnership between the BBC, BT, Channel Four, Five, ITV, Talk Talk and Arqiva, as well as receiving submissions from those critical of the project before giving a final go ahead
