Hi! 👋 Here's our #introduction. We're BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future. For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting. We're now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet – along with all the flexibility and creativity that brings. 5G, AI, next-gen audio, UHD, personal data… we are investigating all these – and more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzztGFXYR1Y

This is great to see, and I'm happy to see it's R&D doing it, they're definitely the right department to be trying things out.

It's nice to see the .bbc tld getting some use too! After a flurry following it being granted, they seemed to take down all the .bbc sites.
