my guess: iPlayer will go fully flash
my guess: the archive will be split - kangaroo will only want those programmes which are commercially valuable (order of 10,000 hours at a total guess), which is a tiny fraction of the overall archive (1 million programmes) And a public value test almost certainly awaits the latter should the BBC choose to release some or all of it as public service - regardless of whether it's done under a view/listen only or creative re-use licence.
