It's doubtful, the Trust doesn't seem to enforce any of the conditions
they placed on the BBC.
Remember when the Trust told the BBC to be Platform Neutral? Also
remember when the BBC allowed mobile downloads on *any* OS and was
playable on any device that supported the industry standard OMA DRM
Scheme? The BBC have know switched to a Windows Media Player only
solution and greatly reduced the number of supported mobile devices
(as well as making it Windows only). The Trust ignored this backwards
step, I doubt the Trust will ever actually do anything.
The only chance that "pressure will be brought to bear" is if the
European Commission takes action. They seem to be the only competition
agency that actually does any enforcement.
