An article by fromer BBC Director General Greg Dyke in yesterday’s Independent includes the following startling information:
In Britain the BBC is planning a similar service by making most of its programming available on platforms like the video iPod for seven days after it has been broadcast. The difference is the BBC programmes will be available for free. Their logic is that the public have already paid for the programmes through the licence fee and it would be unfair to make them pay again.
This apparently is part of a much bigger plan involving a publicly available searchable catalogue of the entire BBC programme archive.
