It was full of chavs, screaming kids, was overpriced, too small and full of animals which looked - well - sad. But I'm glad I've been, now I never need to go again.

Here's a few pics to redeem the situation (a little).

I've been doing a lot of work on this subject - what happens to the analogue TV spectrum when, by 2012, we've all gone digital - and it's something I'm very passionate about.

The Guardian featured my views last month, and in particular my concern that a) spectrum isn't simply sold off to the highest bidder and b) that a more sophisticated model - one which acknowledges the social value which could be realised through different spectrum usages - is developed and deployed by the regulator.

Following on from this Third Sector have done a short feature on the work being done by VCS coaltion group, Public Voice, on the subject (which I'm overseeing) and also has a few lines from me too.

There seems to have been quite a bit of interest elsewhere too, which is great, as this is an issue that more people need to be aware of. (Examples here, here, and here.)
