The BBC forgot to mention it's actually blocking ISPs from caching the streams.
As has already been pointed out, caching the streams wouldn't help ISPs because it's not their upstream bandwidth costs that are concerning them. Leaving aside the practicality of caching content served via RTMP, the BBC is already using the Akamai CDN, making caching on the ISPs' networks largely pointless, as I understand it.
