I don't know exactly what iMP is, so I hope I am not totally off-base
here...
However, I am a (US) American who would defnitely be willing to pay (if the
price were reasonable) for BBC content. My main interest is the radio
programming, which someone here said isn't a problem to distribute, but I
Here's a few screenies: http://www.webcoding.co.uk/imp/
Note that you can actually play the DRM'd files in Media Player itself,
it doesnt have to go through the iMP player "design". All the video's
can be fast forwarded etc without issue.

Hi
as an ex UK resident now living in Australia, I would be delighted to
get access to BBC TV, as there is nothing other thank shonk available
locally (excepting the odd UK production that gets broadcast here and
the ABC attempts to make programs on a budget of at least $2 per whole
program)

The Yahoo! - TiVo deal has set off all sorts of rumour-mongering. It
looks like a little bit of a pain to set up.

It makes sense to target the main user base first, obviously.

At the same time, if I am sitting in my living room in London with my
laptop, paying a TV license - then I can access it. Yet if I take my
same laptop to my house in Spain then I can't access it. surely
that is where I would want it most. I would pay - no problem.

Personally, I'd rather see the BBC spend money on developing the archive and
player, rather than developing and administering overly complex
authorisation systems. You could spend a practically infinite amount of
money trying to tie it down to UK only, but whatever method you use will see

Working on the iTunes Music Store model... £1.89 per episode. If episodes
are weekly, all year (although I know few are), you could be paying £100
just to download a year's worth of 1 series.
Suddenly £126.50 for a licence fee doesn't look too bad...!

Releasing iMP to the world would almost end piracy of the BBC's content.
Releasing it to the UK would still keep all the BBC's content available
over the net through the standard ways. What better way to maintain

Reminds me of an old idea...
Weather from Yahoo, BBC, Met Office all regularly seem to differ quite
widely, based purely on personal subjective checking. So.
How long do you foresee the trials taking place for before it is
released onto the UK market? Also, I assume the basic technology will
prevent those from outside the UK viewing the content on imp, but how
will you be able to distinguish between those who have and have not
paid their licence fee? Or
