I'm almost certain that iPlayer was released sometime in the summer (not December)? archive.org has a copy of iPlayer dated 13 Oct 2007[1], it also has a copy from Aug 07 but that doesn't load (at least not for me).

RE: [backstage] Iplayer the best video experience online?
iplayer has had quite a few launches over the years so it was a bit tricky to find an exact date - december of last year was when it got a real marketing push and a public launch -Original Message- From: owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk [mailto:owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk] On Behalf Of Andy Sent: 12 December 2008 15:35 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] Iplayer the best video experience online? 2008/12/11 Mr I Forrester mail...@cubicgarden.com: Don't forget you can all take part in the iplayer birthday celebrations.

RE: [backstage] Iplayer the best video experience online?
You are not going mad - iPlayer was running through the summer, but only as a beta and only with downloads available. You had to signup to get access. The full launch and the associated marketing push came in December once Streaming was also working. There were a lot of teething problems to sort out with the technology as well as substantial changes to workflow and processes. Once these things started to settle down, then came Streaming and the full launch...
