The SCMP continues to amuse and entertain (in a good way, of course…). I was reading about new Blu-Ray Recorders (subscription required) and was directed to this story in the "related archives":
BBC World Service plans to develop digital radio by 2003
Mar 04, 1998
The BBC says it will sign a deal today to develop standards for new digital radio technology in the mainland. BBC World Service said it would sign the pact as part of an international consortium, Digital Radio Mondiale, including Sony Corp, Sangean, and Telefunken. The new digital radio standards will offer interference-free shortwave listening. The standards could be ready for ratification by the International Telecommunications Union in about two years with radio sets in shops by 2003.
What could possibly more relevant to a story about new Blu-ray high-definition optical disc recorders than a nearly ten year old story about the BBC World Service?
