I don't think Real was a poor decision at the time - IIRC it was the
only commercial offering to provide large server that met with BBC
requirement of maintaining copyright through a proprietary codec.  I
think the BBC persisted with Real for too long.

Although 1 year ago flash was a closed protocol.  The underlying RTMP
protocol has now been documented and released by Adobe and now 3rd
parties can create their own implementation legally such as BBCiPlayer
so the decision is not quite as bad as the earlier Real and then later
MS ones.
