If you delve into the story a little deeper, Virgin's complaint isn't a blanket blocking of project Canvas. If the project had stuck to it's original brief of producing a manual of open technical standards, there wouldn't be a problem. However, the project now seems to be delivering a new TV platform from which VM and others are excluded. This is not just bad for VM but also for the consumer. I don't see any harm in OFCOM and OFT investigating the complaint, which is all that VM are asking for.
