Interesting Stuff 2009-06-25
Since our announcement last week about the new, higher quality BBC Radio streams, we've had a variety of interesting feedback. CNet considers the implications of the announcement on DAB radio:
[U]pgrading iPlayer's streams is a walk in the park compared to upgrading a national digital broadcast infrastructure and the hardware that receives it. Pair this with wireless broadband technologies such as WiMax, and DAB's lifespan could be cut shorter still.

And finally, this will be my last post as co-editor of the BBC Internet Blog as I move on to other sections of the BBC. It's been a pleasure being on the frontline of BBC relations with the tech community. If you're interested, I blog here, and tweet here. I'd like to thank Nick Reynolds for taking me on, and wish the new editor, Paul Murphy, the very best of luck.
Dave Lee was co-editor, BBC Internet Blog.
