December 1997 - On the web - bbc.co.uk is launched

The 91福利社 had had a presence on the internet from 1994, but Lord Birt, then the Director-General of the 91福利社, was quick to recognise its real potential for public service broadcasting. He sought the advice of young people working in the Corporation about which way the 91福利社 should turn in the fledgling online world. Following a trip to Silicon Valley in the United States, he drew up the blueprint for 91福利社 Online. Lord Birt talks about the early days of 91福利社 Online to Ron Neil, former Chief Executive of 91福利社 Production in an archive interview from 2003.
