HbbTV is obsolete already. Better open source platforms out there that are already operating and gaining plenty of viewers even in Australia.

This is not about HbbTV. Is it the beginning of the end for Yahoo! In Australia? Don’t think so, more like the nail in the coffin… Yahoo!7 audience decline, board dysfunction and talent drain has been evident over the past 12 months. Here’s hoping I’m wrong.
