Hi, Olivier: Words lead to action. And, I think this is remarkable.

Dyke to open up BBC archive

Greg Dyke predicts a more public-focused broadcasting future
Greg Dyke, director general of the BBC, has announced plans to give the
public full access to all the corporation's programme archives.
"Mr Dyke said he believed this second phase would see a shift of emphasis
by broadcasters.

Their focus would move away from commercial considerations to providing
"public value", he said.

"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. "
