Peter Strickx is the CTO of Fedict,
an initiative for the development of e-government in Belgium.

Peter Strickx made me laugh in an interview that he gave to DataNews in November about the Lommel TV project: "It's almost like YouTube, but on your television. The PC is not a good channel for watching videos, and television is not a good channel for surfing. When looking at the success of YouTube on PC, imagine the same on a personal television channel!"

It's insane to be contradicted like this. The PC is not a good channel for watching videos. So what? 31 billion videos viewed in 2006, says the french newspaper Libération. And our friend Peter seems to agree with this when he talks about success. So what ? What is then a good channel?

Anyway, that makes me laugh, Peter seems to belong to these people who are so much convinced of their idea that they can tell such stupid things. And that's perhaps completely creditable. Peter also says things like thus: “We make a point of preserving a leading edge but without bleeding edge”. And thank you well...
