They have served their own constituencies well but have been largely irrelevant to the wider online industry/community. <br /><br />The important role that the BBC has played in the development of online in the UK was based on well funded big idea intenral technical projects rather than content production and extensive outsourcing to the wider online creative development community.

As she fills her blog in the Australian with anti Rudd, anti Labor jibes, loose talk, fairy stories and jibber jabber just can see her demanding more money from the Government. Something she never asked for under her mentor Howard. Be interesting to get a poll from ABC staffers on how they rate her as a Board member!!!!

At the moment, only a small proportion can afford the necessary bandwidth. <br /><br />Kim Dalton is right on the money about content. Without additional product, the new channels will either replicate or dilute what is already available.

the reality is despite current and previous governments lack of understanding and commitment, Australians lead the world in many( most) aspects of online activity.

this will continue, and could accelerate, with some sponsored support.

one can only hope..then there is climate change..a real toughy!
