[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 21603, member: 174998"] Some of the frustration felt at this situation seems to be founded in a perception that there has been a deliberate decision to restrict the markets reached by BBC radio. However, this was not the primary goal of the BBC. Since the radio stations were unencrypted and indeed continue to be broadcast by internet, one can conclude that this is not a copyright issue. My understanding is that the radio stations have been moved simply because the main content of the transponders they piggyback has been moved (to the tightly focussed beam). It would be uneconomic to have continued to reserve transponder capacity on the wider beam just for the radio stations. The main content (i.e. TV transmissions) was moved in order to physically restrict the reception area - as an alternative to restricting it by expensive encryption. So this is what the Beeb is getting at in one of the repies quoted above - the radio stations have had to be moved as a secondary effect of steps being taken in preparation for the ending of encryption (which in turn saves the British licence-payer money). 2old [/QUOTE]
