One worth opening, as: - the UK taxpayer pays for the service; - the purpose is to get as many people outside the UK listing to it. The more that do, the better the value for the UK taxpayer; - the BBC holds worldwide rights to the broadcast, that's why it is called what it is - it is actually very good! Would also be quite a good thing in terms of promotion, and if all and any IPTV or similar service wants to carry the programmes, any that come out on top will have been providing it from the outset.
