I read discussions about trying to charge a license feee for online, dunno how it would work exactly. But I don't think Iplayer or anything is available outside the UK.

That already exists, I think.   I had a license questionnaire when I set up my business asking if anyone would be accessing web based TV.  If I had answered yes then a license was required.

I answered no.....

But that wasnt the point I was making really... you cant access the BBC online unless you have paid for an internet connection... whats the difference? 

Yeah, that's a fair point. I guess the net is simply something the BBC can't really get around.

orr their list of rules doesnt mention the internet... they were probably written in 1948.

The BBC needs to wise up... why does it matter if a third party platform happen to have an access fee so long as the fee isnt only for the BBC content.

Cosidering the BBC gets scolded for blinking when they are not meant to, they are always looking for ways to cover their asses no matter how trivial the issue.
