Better quality streams such as MP3 require higher bandwidth or the
sharing technology currently used by iPlayer video. Higher bandwidth
means higher costs.

The BBC is funded by UK public through the TV licence. My understanding
is that the last review of the BBC by a UK Parliamentary committee
mandated that any improvements of services were to be delivered to the
users who paid for the service (i.e. UK only) and not as a freebie to
the whole world.
