Brighton-based Kabel New Media has designed two major new web sites.

The company has built the official Roald Dahl web site in conjunction with The Roald Dahl Literary Estate. The expansive site places some of the world's most recognisable children's characters on the web, illustrated with audio and animation in Dahl's frenetic style.

The second project, drvet.com, features a cartoon character advising people on how to look after their pets. The cartoon has been published in newspapers and has a spot on a children's TV programme. The highly-animated site includes a club for children to find out more about pet care and a tip-sharing section.

Creative TV talk-shop Jason George, creative director of Brighton-based Victoria Real, has been appointed to a national forum on new broadcasting formats.

He will join the international creative board of Endemol Entertainment, one of the UK's largest television production groups, which has a 50 per cent stake in Victoria Real.

The board meets three times a year to discuss new projects such as interactive television and online smash hit Big Brother.

Jason will attend his first meeting on Sunday.

He said: "I'm very honoured to be close to the creative engine of Endemol and it's a important sign of the company's interactive media strategy. We believe that Endemol's forward thinking will enable the company to further strengthen its markets and continue its growth."

BT prices complaint Brighton-based ISP FastNet has written to OFTEL asking the industry watchdog to investigate BT's pricing structure for its flat-rate internet access service.

Ian Robertson, FastNet managing director, has complained about the minimum costs needed to enter the market which he believes to be too high for small businesses serving Sussex consumers.

Ian Robertson, managing director, said: "Instead of trying to work with the internet community to foster the growth of this technology and promote rapid take up of broadband, they have tried to dominate the marketplace.

"They have set barriers that effectively only BT and other big telcos can afford."
