I think the inability or unwillingness - either way unfortunate - lack of openness at the UEA about their data on climate change is a particularly pressing example of the value of TBL's mission. Whenever I saw the University guys on TV describe why they couldn't release the raw stats they are using, it came down to the fact that they didn't own it. It belonged to various meteorological agencies around the world. If there's ever been a case for openness being 'the fuel for new economies in the future' I think that's it! Great stuff.
