another background article (my 15, 2003) describes the lengthy process the BBC has gone through in setting itself up for "reinvention", and may be of interest to anyone who value public televsion:

in a CNET article, of that article I have included a quote worthy of Bloggers attention and discussion:
'The BBC's effort will help usher in a "second phase of the digital revolution," in which the government, public institutions and corporations help create public, rather than commercial, value in their holdings, Dyke said. He added that such a movement requires a commitment from all parties and will combine public money with new digital technologies for social good.
"I believe that we are about to move into a second phase of the digital revolution, a phase which will be more about public than private value; about free, not pay services; about inclusivity, not exclusion." '
