September 28th 2006 | Microsoft

The British Broadcasting Corporation is teaming up with Microsoft Corp. to help develop the next generation of Internet services for the world’s biggest public broadcaster.

BBC chief Mark Thompson met Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates in Seattle on Wednesday to sign the non-exclusive memorandum of understanding and discuss the BBC’s digital strategy.

The companies said on Thursday they would examine plans for the BBC’s vast online archive, ways to share its programming and a re-invented BBC Web site in the form of Web 2.0 — the second generation of Internet-based services.
