"So with this level of nascent demand, we want to make BBC iPlayer as widely available as possible, across as many platforms as is feasible. We're starting with the biggest available audience – the 22 million people who are broadband connected in Britain. The next biggest audience are 3 million cable homes. After that, it's Macs, media centres, and smart handheld devices. Once we've done all that, we'll turn to the really tricky platforms: DTT via either PVRs or IP hybrid boxes." Ashley Highfield, MILIA keynote speech, 18 April 2007. Andrew knows what he's talking about.
To be honest you could read this both ways, either that the iPlayer will get to 22 million people THEN there is cable, or that the cable service will have a few letters changed on the header graphic... Getting back to the subject of this email, the sense that most people understand about iPlayer is perhaps not what is being currently used inside the BBC. -- Brian Butterworth www.ukfree.tv
