Well at least (thanks to you, Triode, Mr Herger and other geeks) we are
in with a fighting chance of hanging onto their coat tails.

One would hope after the fiasco of last years changes, when a lot of
hardware was turned into junk, the BBC would be more open as to what
they were doing. Howeverthe the only missive I have seen so far is from
the Audio Factory Manager's blog - Jim Simmons here
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/entries/f21e6a49-e53c-44f0-8b01-09890a8fed8f
(Audio Factory I believe is the BBC's name for thieir new streaming
solutions).

Long term my big worry is they encrypt streams (possibly as a
consequence of changes to the BBC licensing fee structure). Hopefully
radio will be exempt, but even then, they may wish to restrict how
people interact with their services and only allow "approved" methods
possibly via "approved" hardware manufacturer's
