The BBC have spent many years building their streaming infrastructure,
and that includes a huge amount of effort in recent years to:
* Launch the BBC Nitro API;
* Widely deploy HLS streamms;
* Start deploying MPEG DASH streams, which still is not complete but is
ongoing;
* Build SAML-based authent

Oh dear. The fact the BBC are not doing it in-house, and instead choosing a
