Good that kneejerk reaction resulted in dialogue & useful information. The BBC is in a major struggle for funding, markets, viewers, listeners, browsers, players & global societal role ..... next year sees massive changes in department structures, employment & directions.
Consider the alternatives Jeeves! Do we really want Sky/Murdoch to rule? Use that huge base of listeners, viewers, IP addresses, use the goodwill, the trusted history .... & remember that Google was 2 penniless Stanford graduates. To throwout the best business model the internet has EVER seen without even looking at it seriously would be a grave error.
