The concept of 'public service broadcasting' is surely outdated now that the Internet is available to almost everyone - and really everyone at second hand. How many people, really, turn to the BBC when they need information? Even if the information on the BBC were up-to-date (which is usually isn't) and accurate (ditto), it would still be available elsewhere and in more than one place. What the BBC currently offers is not unique, so is it even necessary? And is it worth the huge cost? <br /><br />We shouldn't go on funding this behemoth without at least asking the questions and getting the answers.Maryon Jeanenoreply@blogger.com
