BBC is criticised over website plans – Technology – theage.com.au

What a wonderful innovation from the BBC. I wonder why Rupert Murdoch doesn't like user-driven web developments? Too democratic perhaps?

Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate on Wednesday accused the British Broadcasting Corp. of using taxpayers' money to build a "digital empire" that would compete with commercial rivals.

The BBC, which receives about 3 billion pounds ($7.19 billion) a year in public funding, has announced plans to relaunch its Web site to incorporate more user-generated content such as blogs and video, as well as developing new broadband portals in areas including sports, music, health and science.
