Possibly quite soon - there's a Radio 4 comments programme ('Feedback')
on which, almost every week, there are comments about the quality of
streaming video and/or audio and technical people explaining what's
going on in response.
I know the BBC was experimenting with Microsoft Media Player for some
time as it isn't satisfied with Real, but it seems from this that Ogg
Vorbis is the way things are going (as the BBC is a public service
organisation, by charter, it's possible someone realised that there
would be no licencing fees to pay and, in particular, that streams
could be accessed by as many operating systems as possible :)
