This is a better link - it gives rather more detail (and isn't Emap's copyright either!): http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/news/press-releases/31-01-2007.html ...including this paragraph: *Platform-agnostic approach:* As proposed, the TV catch-up service on the internet relies on Microsoft technology for the digital rights management (DRM) framework. The Trust will require the BBC Executive to adopt a platform-agnostic approach within a reasonable timeframe. This requires the BBC to develop an alternative DRM framework to enable users of other technology, for example, Apple and Linux, to access the on-demand services. ...now, that's definitely good news (whatever the definition of "reasonable timeframe") -- http://james.cridland.net/
