If this is what UK blogging looks like, the BBC is the least of its problems.

any chance of you replying to the question posed in the Tom Watson blogpost you made? Who was the source for the post?

cheers,

I don’t live in london, so there’s zero chance of me being involved in these sorts of events, but has any discussion occurred around how open and who should have access to this great publicly-funded platform the “web2.0″ crowd seem to want?

It’s just the small mater of the BBC being the British Public Service Broadcaster with emphasis on all 4 preceeding words, being funded by British License-payers which inevitably leads to it not being fair or appropriate for its data, content or bandwidth used for the benefit of foreign (i.e. u.s.) companies or V.C.-backed companies built to be sold to those same companies!

At the same time, the BBC is building “a place for every bbc programme, on the web” which seems perfectly suited to a uktv-type J.V. or to be more self-serving, exclusively under the auspices of BBC Worldwide, either option could be more efficient than funding completely by licence-money and would allow better interfacing with “See-Saw”.

The fundamental ethos that should be appreciated, is that the internet is not broadcasting, every user adds bandwidth cost, the people who have and run these high-vision (without budgetary limit) ideas, are at the stratospheric opposite of the people least likely to have broadband access (e.g. iplayer for iphone wet-dreams)!

I want to write a Part II – where do we go from here, but that will take a bit longer.

a nice mp3 link would be good, you wouldn’t have to type it all up and we’d hear what was actually said without any spin attached from yer goodself.

how about in time for the C4 one?

Ashley – I sympathise. Panorama should have linked to an acknowledged Shiny’s contribution to their doco about child labour in fashion. Rather pathetic behaviour from those particular programme makers. One is never quite sure if it is some junior researcher who cuts credits to sources, or the senior guys. Very, very tedious, to put it mildly….
