The BBC has spent £98.4m on the
controversial Digital Media Initiative – which was designed
to do away with video tapes and create a kind of internal
YouTube of BBC archive content that staff can access,
upload, edit and then air from
their computers – the equivalent of almost 660,000 licence fees.


It sounds like a cool idea, why are they abandoning it? The BBC is one of the world's great media companies, it makes sense that they were trying to make a huge digital library from their content. If they have already spent so much money it seems silly to abandon the project now.
