Congrats on bringing the Ted conference as an annual event in Oxford. Bletchley Park is indeed an inspiring place – although I still find it incredible that the UK museums trust won’t invest in its preservation. It’s clearly a struggle for them. If you need any photos of Bletchley for brochures, let me know.
I am curious how you will link other centres in the Middle East and Africa. Have you done a deal with Eutelsat?
Kind regards

Thank you for the pictures offer, will keep that in mind. As for simulcast, we have announced it for 2010, not for 2009. BG
