I'm sure that they will have.... it would be great to see a copy,
perhaps it was overlooked that BT is more than just a UK centric
business model. :-)
I must say that the peace here may be broken by the following phrase ...
"She stressed that the BBC would not be making any money from the new
arrangement."
Classic choice of words ..... BBC now giving content away, or was
"profit" the preferred noun?
Count me in for DVB-T via the net, and for Mac .... excellent news.

The way I read it was ...
They are offering it as part of another service, so they're not
charging for the BBC channels, you get those free, if you "buy"
this other service.
I might be wrong??
Still plenty of loop-holes here to setup a free "BBC+1" if a user
subscribes to your "members only website" :-)
Im just guessing here though lol

If BT can, why can't you or anyone else?

It turns out it isn't the iPlayer but the "higher quality" DVB-T
recording that BT offer as part of their package. Although as they
have no claim to copyright over them, it a bit hard to understand
how they can charge extra for them, for example I couldn't record
BBC one off-air, make a +1 of it and then transmit it via satellite
and charge a fee for it.
Could I?
Or could I?
2008/6/9 Darren Stephens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I would suspect so, as they would likely claim that it is like any
number of satellite channels bundled on sky, provided at zero cost,
but only available as part of a package which includes other
chargeable services.
Marketing drones, don't you just love them...

According to http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/3580-catch-up-tv-on-
bt-vision-no-longer-free.html
"BT Vision now has a TV Replay Pack that costs £3 per month and
covers the ... BBC iPlayer service."
Is it OK for BT to charge for access to the free iPlayer?
