One Vision

"One Vision" is a song written and recorded by the British rock band Queen, first released as a single in November 1985 and then included on their 1986 album A Kind of Magic. It was originally conceived by Roger Taylor.

The song has been speculated to be inspired by either the band's "show-stopping" performance at Live Aid earlier in 1985, or by the life and exploits of Martin Luther King, with the lyrics recounting a man battling and overcoming the odds. In the 2011 BBC documentary, Queen: Days of Our Lives, Taylor stated his lyrics were "sort of half nicked off Martin Luther King's famous speech." The song's music video featured a "morphing" effect of the band's famous pose in 1975's "Bohemian Rhapsody" video to a 1985 version of the same pose. The song was included in all Queen's live concert performances of The Magic Tour, as the very first song of each concert. They claimed they chose "One Vision" as the introduction song because its intro made a perfect concert introduction.

One Vision (DTT)

OneVision was a consortium that have been offered a licence by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland to run the pay television services on the DTT platform in the Republic of Ireland.

OneVision was managed through a consortium made up of telecommunications company Eircom (65%), Arqiva (25%), Setanta (10%) and TV3 Group held a nominal share.

OneVision had considered the feasibility of operating the commercial digital terrestrial television service after Boxer Ireland decided to withdraw from the contract due to the current economic climate in Ireland.

OneVision was unable to conclude negotiations with the BAI due to difficulties with the terms of RTÉ NL apparently regarding multiplexing, marketing for DTT and other issues. The licence offer has now been made to Easy TV (DTT) the third placed consortium that includes RTÉ and Liberty Global, who own the cable operator UPC. In the event that that consortia turn down or do not conclude licence with the BAI, then the licence contract terms may have to be revised to reflect these developments and the contest process restarted after some time or interventive direction by the Minister of Communications, Energy & Natural Resources on how pay DTT will proceed. If the Easy TV (DTT)consortia accept the BCI licence however, and conclude the contract with them, then the Pay DTT operation following successful contract negotiation with RTÉ NL it may launch by September 2010 or later with 2011 look more likely by the day either with a pay DTT operator or not
