The Guardian has an interesting article about the BBC's efforts (to date) to interface with new technologies:

Interesting piece. I'm particularly frustrated at the continuin failure to get the Creative Archive that we've long been promised online. Angry

Was tickled by this quote from Greg Dyke though:

Quote
"The great thing about the BBC is its ability to move fast at times," Dyke said. "The last charter document never mentioned the online world because it didn't really exist, but John Birt took it there ahead of the rest of the media. If you had this system now, the BBC wouldn't have the same presence online; you wouldn't have Freeview; you wouldn't have the Digital Curriculum [BBC Jam]."

Of course, BBC Jam was suspended back in March and 200 job losses were announced yesterday as a result, so perhaps not the greatest example of success ...

Let there be no doubt about it that the future of the BBC  is safe in the hands of Sir Michael Lyons .... and no more cynicism please, especially from the likes of MT Wessel ....
