I was getting a 404 in the US, but it's working for me now:

France here (and the link works)

Seems that it is working for everyone but the US, strange.
Just noticed that this article is even on the BBC News frontpage that's really nice.

Hmmm, there is an unexpected twist taking place with the block halving. The tenor of the articles (and quantity) has changed, become more curious, positive even maybe.
It is like there is an audience that has so far only taken a superficial interest in bitcoin is now saying, "wait there is something else going on here ...." and then the bitcoin protocol with its regulation of inflation and "working harder for coins" meme takes hold and the nagging doubts about bitcoin=ponzi FUD starts to get blown away completely.
Encapsulated well with these two quotes, first the "bitcoins are hard to get" ... and then the "very widely used digital currency".

People trying to profit via the bitcoin electronic currency will soon have to work harder to mint the digital coins.

Since the creation of the bitcoin network in early 2009, bitcoins have grown to become a very widely used digital currency.
Agree with you. This article is a great promotional piece to spread awareness of bitcoin. Regardless of whether it is painted in a neutral or positive light, the benefits will come from the bbc's wider reach (in audience).
I agree. Some month ago we'd have been posting threads like: "was this spike due to the bbc article?"
Nowadays positive or at least neutral news about bitcoin is the norm. Negative events don't seem to capture journalists (if you can call these dudes that) attention that easily any more. I guess "bitcoins worth x Dollars stolen from site y" doesn't cut it any more.

The 404 error will probably be for users outside the UK with the BBC being the state television that it is >_< lol
I for instance can't view daily show episodes well without going through piratebay because of licensing issues, it will be the same thing here.

The bitcoin story is mentioned on the main BBC news page http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ and the link there is the same as the one posted here (404/broken).
