James Cridland also responded to my query about direct access to the
higher quality streams - and the answer was:
"we will have other streams primarily for internet radio devices; and
we will ensure that these are better quality than currently
available."

I suspect that it will require some an agreement being in place between
Logitech and BBC to get that access - perhaps with some form of
brokering via SqueezeNetwork (as in done for some other services).
It will be imperative that if something is done via SqueezeNetwork then
it must take into account the location of the listener since since it
looks like the writing is on the wall for access to music programmes
from outside UK.
Maybe a SqueezeNetwork node/proxy in UK - with an assurance from
Logitech that it would only be used by devices that appear to be in UK
- or a private back-end protocol with BBC that tells them the IP
address of the listener.
