Some are so irritated by the two-month-plus impasse over negotiations concerning revenue sharing for Web-based content between themselves and television networks (say that five times fast) that a number have started planning for the establishment of a new production company all their own.

We have written about this trend extensively, with our two most notable posts being an analysis of the challenges of the classic bottom-up approach and the promise of the new top-down one. Regardless of how the Semantic Web will come about, for it to flourish it needs to hit the mainstream.

Welcome Back Barry- January 10, 2008 Even though Barack Obama came in second last night in New Hampshire, he's still number one in Chicago.
