FYI,
I think the people on this mailing list might have opinions about this.
The BBC would like to break free of some of the restrictions imposed on
iPlayer, like the 30 day limit. Their regulator, Ofcom, says they need
to consult the public.

[The BBC] think the results of this new offering for our licence fee
payers might look like:
* Longer initial period of availability for all programmes of at
least 12 months
* Complete series box sets for selected titles made up of new
returning series and their previous series
* More archive content
The BBC’s regulator, Ofcom, considers these proposals constitute a
material change to the BBC’s UK Public Services. The BBC Board is
therefore undertaking a Public Interest Test - an evidence-based
process used to assess the public value of a change and its impact on
competition. This consultation forms part of that process.
This consultation is open for six weeks from *Monday 7 January to
Friday 15 February 2019*.
