Re: [backstage] More iPlayer protesting
The BBC was set up up so that we had a broadcaster who was not tied to such commercial pressures, evidently the BBC is disregarding the reason it was created! The British Broadcasting Company become the British Broadcasting Corporation by Royal Charter for that reason and others (another was independence). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bbc I wonder why the BBC does not contribute as much to the Internet and Open Source as it did to TV and radio engineering in the past. http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/ Current projects?
