So, I guess you're saying it amounts to a lot of nothingness.

In many ways, couldn't you compare the BBC to Microsoft.   I mean, they 
do have a certain monopoly on British media, unheard of even in 
America's conglomerate world.

I'm surprised they haven't created "Her Majesty's Internet" so that 
Cambridge graduates can be assured of even more low paying hip media 
jobs in the city for tweed wearing history majors.
