Catch-up (August): BBC to sell off BBC Resources

The BBC has decided to sell-off its resources subsidiary (1,2,3). Such a move had previously been forestalled after a strike-averting agreement with unions. This pact was to hold until January 2007, when, unsurprisingly, it was quickly announced that the sale was back on. It has now been set rolling. The relationship between the BBC and its commercial services has been one focus of concern for the BBC Trust.
