I get that but it seems as if the BBC are world beaters (by being first and best) at services so I'd love to see what their R&D costs are for things like iPlayer and Red Button.
Something like iPlayer, which has been around for years, is only now being matched for quality by Hulu. It insane that the BBC is at the forefront of TV progression when billion dollar companies appear to do nothing.
