There’s an opportunity to build a new, open mass medium of online television. The Democracy project is developing an internet TV platform so that watching internet video channels will be as easy as watching TV and broadcasting a channel will be open to everyone. Unlike traditional TV, everyone will have a voice.
Some things you should know about the project:
* Democracy (the application) is developed by the Participatory Culture Foundation
* They’re based in Worcester, Massachusetts
* They’re a not-for-profit organization (501c3 pending)
* They think it’s a problem that a small number of corporations control mass media.
* They think free, open-source, open standards internet TV is our best shot at a solution.
