Rags like the Daily Mail are FUDding the hell out of this story. The Guardian's take is at least a bit more balanced. Personally, I think it's a good thing. I like the Met Office (and in the interests of disclosure have worked with it on a couple projects) but it shouldn't have an entitlement to providing weather data for the BBC. I'd like to see something like MeteoGroup get the contract. Would be really interesting to see what it could bring to the table.
