YouTube Bigger than BBC
May 21, 2006
Youtube now receives more traffic than the BBC.
The BBC is nearly 100 years old and is funded by a mandatory television license paid by anyone owning a TV in the UK that amounts to almost £3bn annually.
Youtube launched in December 2005.
The BBC has come on leaps and bounds into the digital world as it attempts to justify its funding to the connected generation, but I think this is a telling development, at the very least about how fast things are changing.
