They haven't moved it online. Find a TV and switch it on - BBC Four is still there, for now at least!

No it was not. BBC Four is still going strong. It's great.

I wish you were right, but that is not the case, sadly. I could give you several examples but here's one: there was a comment on HN a little while ago [1] about a spammer by the name of whitehallmedia. Every single email they send has an unsubscribe link.

Ofcom has referred the cloud services market to the Competition and Markets Authority.
The features which Ofcom is most concerned about are:
- Egress fees – charges that cloud customers must pay to move their data out of the cloud
- Discounts – which may incentivise customers to use only one cloud provider
- Technical barriers to switching – which may prevent customers from being able to switch between different clouds or use more than one provider
Ofcom's report also outlines concerns it has heard about the software licensing practices of some cloud providers, in particular Microsoft.CMA launches market investigation into cloud services
