I hate the way the BBC has to tiptoe around everything, instead of actually getting on with it. Clearly the technology is there, and the demand is obviously there. But clearly making sure the commerical sector doesn’t piss its pants is more important. [...] [...] I have written before about this “trial” stuff the BBC always has to do.

By the way: "Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the Puddin-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye wordy of a grace As lang's my arm." Hat tip Colin. BBC is the cutting edge. By the way:

BBC produce some of the finest entertainment on television at the moment (the only non-sport/live event programme that I watch regularly on non commercial TV is Soccer AM). ITV has become diluted rubbish, Channel 4 is getting rid of it's quality programming at an alarming rate to replace it with Big Brother knockoffs, and Channel 5 is...well....Channel 5. On the beeb there is something for everything. ITV is basically the same old, same old. I couldn’t agree more.

Silliness. Seems to me like Ofcom are behind the times, and (as they very often are) the BBC are ahead of them, in technological terms. Silliness.
