To develop a price comparison site is not very easy. I have changed side from not liking them to actually developing one I have to say though that BBC is right to an extend, but accessibility is not an issue only of price comparison sites.

@George – if you’re going to use posh words like “nefarious”, make sure you can spell the simple ones like “agggggggggggressive”

Seriously though, the BBC have come across a market which millions of people use (which should have come up on their radar much earlier). Now they’re trying to knock the comparison websites and I can’t work out if it is a force for good or just to grab some headlines.

Either way, spot on with the topic. Accessibility is often forgotten about and very important for millions of people – I guess on that note, I can’t complain.

It’s just a shame that the BBC included the wrong websites in their research – I’d have been interested in hearing what they thought of the “real” Confused and GoCompare.

Looks like the BBC’s investigations might not be that good afterall – according to BlogStorm they were testing the wrong websites:
