Alas, the promise of being able to "catch up with Strictly Come Dancing while having a cafe latte in Coffee Republic" doesn't quite hold true yet.
Having missed a flight this morning, I'm spending far more of Christmas Eve than I'd like to in Heathrow Airport. I was hoping to kill some time watching some things on the streaming iPlayer, but they're all unavailable. I'm presuming they're being served from a non-bbc.co.uk domain - is it Akamai? I can listen to streaming radio though - so could just spend the next few hours listening to 6 Music... - martin On 10/16/07, Martin Deutsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This appears to have gone live already - I've just connected to The Cloud > hotspot in the pub across the road, and it's happy to let me on to > *.bbc.co.uk and watch streaming video. > > The Cloud's login page (which appears when you try to access non-free sites) > also has links to t3.co.uk and channel4radio.com.
