　　BBC World Service is the world's biggest radio network, with 140 million listeners across the globe, broadcasting in 44 languages, heard on short-wave, medium-wave, FM and satellite. We have an ambitious plan for the brand new technology of Digital Broadcasting by Satellite, due to start next year. The appearance of the Internet has taken us broadcasters all by surprise. The Internet has enabled any radio station anywhere to become an international broadcaster with only a minor investment. Although its sound quality is far from perfect, it excels that of short-wave. Internet radio does not only mean competition but also great opportunities. The BBC is taking the Internet very seriously, for it's a cheap way of getting a reasonable quality signal to places in the even our short-wave transmitters can't adequately reach. Very recently, we launched "BBC On-Line", which incorporates a 24-hour news service. And the users can hear programmes in Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish and Russian.

　　英国广播公司国际广播电台是世界上最大的广播网，在全球拥有1.4亿听众，可以通过短波、中波、调频和卫星收听以44种语言广播的节目。我们有一项雄心勃勃的计划，即明年起使用全新的卫星数码技术进行广播。国际互联网的出现使我们(广播人)措手不及。国际互联网可以使位于世界任何一个地方的广播电台以很小的投资便可成为一家国际广播站。虽然互联网广播的音质远非完善，但却胜于短波。互联网电台的出现不仅意味着竞争，同时也提供了机会。英国广播公司非成认真地对待互联网广播一事。因为互联网广播的确是一条耗资少但可以将音质不劣的信号传送到短波都无法达到的地区。最近，我们开通了一条包括24小时新闻联播在内的英国广播公司(BBC)联网(频道)。用户可以收听到汉语、阿拉伯语、西班牙语和俄罗斯语的广播节目。
