I spent 10 years working in Broadcast dealing with closed platform web, antiquated, proprietary players, unhappy to see my work locked up in windows-only formats that did not not talk to the open web. So, I’m particularly pleased to see the BBC putting focus and serious man-hours into merging internet standards and the future of broadcasting. This is  important, and I hope the Beeb gets a bunch of talented applicants with the right mix of punch and geek mastery.

May the force be with whoever gets this job – you will have many friends who love the web and want broadcasters to embrace it fully, including me ;)
