Your edit: ..having so little impact on it's primary revenue driver.. Sorry, you are still wrong. The BBC is specifically in the business of video content and their failed system was a video content management system. You can not get any more core to a business than that! This is a quintessential big software project failure I do not see how it being in government has anything to do with it or how you have made any kind of case for that belief.
