This, of course, had been announced already, but I wonder what
implications (if any) would that have to GiP BBC Three downloads; if
online becomes the only way to watch, I suspect the CDN servers will
be far more busy than now, possibly resulting in reduced download speeds.
I suspect the majority of the target audience watches online anyway on a
phone or a tablet, so I'd hazard a bet it probably won't make that much
difference. Indeed I seem to recall the reason that broadcast BBC Three
was chosen for the chop was for that very reason.
There's no bigger advocate of the online revolution than myself but even
if I watch something online it's rarely on anything other than a large
monitor (except when I'm in the Philippines, like right now, when it's
on a 17inch laptop). I really can't be faffing around with small
controls on a small screen but I recognise I'm part of the dinosaur
generation, as none of the youngsters I know watches TV, everything is
done on the small screen.
