Hi all - (newbie question) - is this the right place to ask - what isthe

Or - given the infrastructure that is in place - is it pos
Ian -
any idea how this trial is going to be delivered? any tech specs on
the trial itself?
i'm thinking scary black boxes and dial groups.

it'll be delivered via the internet... using that funny HTML stuff
(streamed in Real/WM I expect, cos that'll make it easier to set up - it is
a trial after all...).
The actual site itself is very nice, IMHO (not that I had anything to do
with it!)

Hey Tom,
By making it UK centric, isn't the BBC missing the public values of
an awful lot of us that no longer inhabit that island all year?
Or are there pages written in Polish etc, just to please the total UK
population. I wish the Trust would accept BBC internet presence
for what it

Oh well, perhaps 35-44 age bracket is already full.

I was amazed that they're even considering opening up their archive, given
that if it's going to include anything which isn't natural history or news /
in-house documentaries, I can't see how there's NOT going to be royalties
and copyright ownership disputes. How is this being done, and what conten

The Trust have to base all their decisions on the needs of UK licence fee
payers, first and foremost.
But yes, a global internet, that challenges lots of assumptions that
previously were not even explicity.
Why not write to them and tell 'em - seriously ,it's their job to hear views
from people
