Muddiest Point: September 13, 2010

My muddiest point question after class today is this:

If media life expectancies are short, I assume this means that libraries -- or someone -- must constantly have to migrate data so that it remains accessible.  We saw how much it costs for a digitization project, but I'm just wondering if there are projections about the annual cost of a data migration project to ensure that content is always accessible?  Is this something that has to be done regularly by the companies that control the master sources of digital information?
