BBC to put its entire archive online

The BBC has gone public with its intention to find a way to put the entire content of its radio and TV archives online. I know some of the details of this project, and I couldn't be more excited.

"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.

"In particular, it will be about how public money can be combined with new digital technologies to transform everyone's lives."

Update: Danny O'Brien has posted a stirring piece to his blog, explaining what makes this so darned cool.
