"The BBC has admitted that it has wasted almost £100m
on a technology project that was designed to make the corporation "tapeless", and has closed it to stop it "throwing good money after bad". 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. BBC trustee Anthony Fry has written to the Margaret Hodge, chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, and to the National Audit Office explaining that the BBC's chief technology officer, John Linwood, has been suspended from his £287,000-a-year job."

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.

"why are they abandoning it?"

but i mean, surely they could hire someone that knows how to make these type of systems work...they've already put so much time and money into it, and the concept is a good concept...
