I worked in a lab where someone was working with Arduino. Some senior people from BBC said that it was just what they had been looking for. I haven't seen anything since, however I think that the popularity of Pi could carry the day this time. I'm sure that other variations will also come to the surface. Other developments, such as YaCy : http://yacy.net/en/ suggest that a tipping point towards Free Software is arriving.
