BBC iPlayer going global

The BBC’s iPlayer video-on-demand service is to launch globally, says a BBC Worldwide staffer, provided that it can win approval from the BBC Trust.

The BBC Trust is the BBC’s overall governing body. Non-UK viewers (and listeners) already have access to programming either directly via the BBC web-site (for radio) and from the BBC’s international video channels BBC America, BBC Entertainment and its other local variations.

But opening up the iPlayer – and for a fee – could be hugely lucrative for fans of the BBC’s output. In the UK, where the content is ‘free’ to users, there have been millions of downloads.
