Web TV firms in fresh bid to stall Kangaroo

Internet TV companies Joost and Babelgum have made fresh calls to the Competition Commission to stop Kangaroo, the BBC Worldwide, ITV and Channel 4 joint-venture VoD service. The move is in response to the CC's preliminary conclusion last last year that Kangaroo would likely result in a 'substantial lessening of competition'. Joost and Babelgum have challenged the joint venture throughout the CC's inquiry, whose final decision is due next month.
