RE: [backstage] BBC announces 3G mobile syndication trial with Orange, Vodafone and 3
Perhaps backstage.bbc.co.uk could have the streams for the purposes of a technical trial too? There's already been a technical trial with live streaming of BBC channels - the Multicast trial http://www.bbc.co.uk/multicast/ Can't have two trials doing pretty much the same thing. Would make a mockery of the system. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/03_march/29/3g.s html Can we have the BBC one, BBC THREE and (in particular) BBC News 24 streams online please? If you can stream them on a mobile, it would be useful if they could be provided online in the same format (I mean, that's what you are doing anyway...)

The Communication Act 2003 strictly forbits the requirement of a payment to watch a live BBC TV channel. This is why the BBC one service on DAB radio is free-to-air, and why all BBC services are free on analogue and digital cable, and also on digital satellite too. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Cowlishaw Sent: 29 March 2007 12:45 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] BBC announces 3G mobile syndication trial with Orange, Vodafone and 3 On 3/29/07, Brian Butterworth HYPERLINK mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tim, They can't be paying BBC Worldwide a penny, as it is strictly forbidden by the Communications Act 2003!

Re: [backstage] BBC announces 3G mobile syndication trial with Orange, Vodafone and 3
3G technical trial. 12 months long. it's public service, as Brian says. Nowt to do with BBC Worldwide. we don't have regulatory permission to broadcast BBC TV 24/7 live on the open net until iPlayer public value test has been approved by the BBC Trust (assuming they do indeed approve this).

RE: [backstage] BBC announces 3G mobile syndication trial with Orange, Vodafone and 3
Still, considering TMO have the best 3G network in the UK, and (imo) the best takeup - and selection - of flat-rate data packages, it seems a bit short-sighted to run these 'public trials' without including TMO as a carrier! Orange and Vodafone are ridiculously expensive data-wise, only 3 could be classed as a competitor with TM 3G-wise. Maybe I'm just jealous. ;) Still annoying that I've even been a member of the multicast trials for approaching a year now, and I've only ever managed to make the multicast streams actually WORK once - and that was in Halls, and then two weeks later they changed their network topology and multicast stopped working! And my ISP is stalling on multicast enablement (Be*) when they're one of the few ISPs who would actually properly benefit from a multicast-enabled network given their LLU infrastructure... Sigh. When the iPlayer is rolled out, will the mobile streams (and/or access to them) fall under the iP umbrella? I'd love to be able to authenticate with an iPlayer username which I've set up on my desktop client, then be able to watch mobile-formatted streams of the same channels via my mobile device - that'd make the morning commute so much less painful! Huge PITA to set up though :D -Original Message- From: Brian Butterworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 March 2007 14:03 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: RE: [backstage] BBC announces 3G mobile syndication trial with Orange, Vodafone and 3 Chris, I wouldn't worry about it, the service is going to be even worse than the DAB service used by Virgin Mobile!
