We can only hope that BBC implement as a proper service rather than keep
experimenting as part of the development labs.
I'm not sure of the status of RadioVis / RadioDNS (last message on BBC
R&D is about 2011) but the group had message up to Jul 2014.

The BBC may be waiting for a RadioDNS standard which will work with all
"vendors" but it looks like the AudioFactory changes may have sidelined
all that by making it difficult for players vendors to actually play BBC
streams.

Meanwhile BBC R&D are playing around with RadioTag.
