The BBC has lots and lots of small regional (and sub-regional) offices to provide local radio and TV, not to mention their larger operations like TV center, broadcasting house, Pebble Mill and other production studios for programs like EastEnders. 200 locations doesn't seem that off to me.. Alot of the staf where 'outsourced' to Siemens aa couple of months, I think that was around 2000 for just the technical side (IT, comms, broadcast tech etc). Then there's presenters, journalists, researchers etc etc.. -- Martin Hepworth Snr Systems Administrator Solid State Logic Tel: +44 (0)1865 842300 Jeroen Massar wrote: On Thu, 2004-11-25 at 08:49 +0000, Ryan O'Connell wrote:On 25/11/2004 08:07, Jeroen Massar wrote:The BBC are probably a bad example in this case, they're more of an ISP/Content Provider than a typical Enterprise.It is sourced from AS31459, which is the BBC R&D AS, thus might be that it is still sort of experimental, but it is there. This also proves one big thing to all the people complaining about getting a TLA. If the BBC can get it, any large organization can get one. If you can't you simply do not network well enough. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
