With the support of the Hewlett Foundation in 2005 and 2006, Intelligent Television is bringing together business and industry leaders and culture and education stewards to explore new business collaborations between libraries, museums, archives, universities and commercial media and technology enterprises.
Intelligent Television is also commissioning and publishing a working paper on the economics of open content, a vital subject; publishing a report, based on a summary of its public-private meetings and drawing on this working paper, highlighting the emerging economic relationships in this field; and developing and producing two new models for commercial-noncommercial media collaborations around cultural heritage and educational materials.
Intelligent Television’s Open Production Initiatives serve as one sort of new model for the distribution of open content and open educational content in particular to the broader interested public—a model based in video and film media, produced in the best traditions of documentary television, and meant to be distributed in various complementary ways. The two Open Production Initiatives for this project are being developed in association with Columbia University Center for New Media Teaching and Learning and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Open Courseware project.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
