So the're available to the world subject to what browser/os you use, but
not to me who pays the licence fee.

Why must MPEG-DASH be used for this?

It's not like it's some UHD Video that may need bitrate considerations.

Why not just do a 4ch version of the 320kbit ADTS R3 stream, which works
fine with pretty much anything, and also gives users the choice of aac
decoders.

i'd guess auntie is as much interested in testing mpeg-dash as in 4.0 :)

adaptive streaming has its nice aspects, both from the content provider's and the listener's point of view.
