"The Trust has also asked the executive to adopt a platform-agnostic approach to the iPlayer. The original proposal for the service would have meant it was only available to Microsoft users but the Trust's proposal will require them to develop an alternative framework which will allow users of other technology, for example Apple Macs, to access the service."
Which I mightily suspect is a paragraph a lot easier to write in a report than to put into action in a way that represents value-for-money versus reach..... The bizarre bit to me seems to be: "BBC management's request for the iPlayer to have a feature enabling users to bookmark a show for download ahead of transmission was also rejected by the Trust." Are they saying that if I can't book something in advance from the BBC, I'm more likely to completely forget about it and rent a DVD at a later date or pay for something from C4 instead...... all the best martin - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
