The Business & IP Centre at the British Library in London has a wealth of business and IP (intellectual property) information and tremendous experience, but to date is not taking advantage of a true Global Web Presence and .tv Channel. The Business & IP Centre has the unique opportunity to set a new benchmark in industry standards by utilizing the most engaging medium: VIDEO. A .tv channel would assist entrepreneurs in finding the business information they need while at the same time give them the ability to meet to staff of the Business IP Centre in a whole new light! An Internet .tv Channel allows individuals to experience supplementary information that complements the content across other traditionally established sites.
