Thinking out loud..... there could be opportunity whereby BT, or
already BBC license holders, feed the iplayer (Virgin DVB-T) feed to
a 3G iPhone .... but maybe with an HDMI port added, if you want to
watch straight on a TV screen ..... If one can't, or doesn't like 3G
or Edge, you can just use Wifi.... the BBC iPlayer could be rented
for use by the download to anyone outside the UK, with those inside
still getting "free access". If a content producer wants, they could
probably do a deal costing 30% of the app final price, right now. No
post and no physical overheads.... or not truly physical ones. I
think it was a few years ago that external income began to make a
contribution, so this could reverse the potential license increase
necessity..... sorted then :-) I think the second part is the most
interesting....
Could be great.

Could any of the the three Bs - BT, BBC or Brian - offer that
service, legally?
