de LaB Resonate - Platform for Art and Technology Last day in Belgrade in January 2011 and I receive a call from Maria and Jelena to quickly meet and have a quick chat before I head back to London. One coffee, two coffees and plenty of cigarettes we agree to do a festival – as simple as that. I don’t think I have ever made an important decision so quickly that has cost me endless hours of work but has had such an amazing satisfaction from seeing it through. In a nutshell this is how Resonate came to being. Looking back now at March when we officially launched the festival, all feels like one large blur. For those that might have missed it, Resonate is a new platform for networking, information, knowledge sharing and education. Today we launched Resonate Platform, a new website dedicated to opening a dialogue between Resonate audience and festival participants. 1. Resonate was one long project and it continues to be one.

Pay-Per-View Football? BSkyB's Now TV is a Game-Changer It was a long time coming, but BSkyB finally announced a launch date for its online, pay-as-you-go TV service. It will be available in the UK from tomorrow, July 17. As we noted earlier today, Now TV poses a huge threat to the likes of LoveFilm and Netflix, with its fairly extensive collection of movies available either on a per-play basis starting at £0.99, or through an affordable-but-not-cheap £15 unlimited monthly pass. But it’s worth focusing on the other big elephant in the room. In addition to the football, this means you’ll also be able to tap England Test cricket, Heineken Cup rugby, ATP tennis and the golf Masters from Augusta. While it was already known that Now TV would include the English Premier League, there hasn’t been too much of a song-and-dance made about it thus far. The casual fan Football is the most watched sport in many parts of the world, and the UK is no different. The committed fan Sky Sports is such a lucrative product for BSkyB. The future of football
