Philips, Europe's largest consumer electronics company,
wants to prevent "a few companies from controlling the
digital world," according to an interview Larry Blanford,
Philips' chief for its North American Consumer Electronics
operations, gave to Reuters
today in Amsterdam.
The context for the talk was Philips ongoing discussions
with current and would-be Internet music retailers,
including Apple, Dell, Viacom, and others. Philips plans to
introduce new devices for playing digital music and wants
the broadest possible application. For that reason teh
company has already decided not to support Microsoft's
Windows Media Player in its consumer electronics products.
As Blanford explained,
"We need a technology that works, that is
available to everyone, managed in a fair way and not
constrained to any particular group."
