Proof if any more were needed that geography is no longer capable of being an organising force on the web. As the BBC Trust will now take eight months to find out….

Just a quickie. And this is fascinating.

So what was scheduled to take six months is now due to take eight… why?

Cos they can’t get the geography to match; that one deal cannot fit all given the patchwork quilt of provincial newspaper ‘competitors’ that exists in this country… the two pieces of the jigsaw don’t fit; even if all those provincial newspaper groups agreed to all let the Beeb park a tank on their lawn.

The ‘300lb gorilla’ of TrinityMirror’s nightmares.

Eight months? Mmm.

We’ll see.
