If you go to one of The Cloud’s 7,500 hotspots in the UK, the BBC will be available for free – thanks to a deal they’ve agreed. Eventually folk will be able to download shows on their mobile devices at these spots.
The thing is, don’t we all just want free WiFi access. Couldn’t a corporation like the BBC that’s set up to serve the public create a nationwide WiFi grid instead of promoting the services of a WiFi company?
They’re also developing this proprietary iPlayer thing in bloody Flash to ensure copyright control etc – another short-termist approach by the Beeb.
