iStitchUp

In a previous post we commented that the BBC and Apple appear to have the same business plan (control the platform and you can charge what you like for content). Interesting to see then that the BBC is providing its services on the iPhone.

Presumably you will need a licence to watch live streaming TV on the iPhone, we wonder how the BBC plans to enforce this. Supposing someone watches TV on thier iPhone while at work, who is liable? Is it the employer or the employee?

The BBC is not short of new initiatives. We wonder if they ever think through whether these are actually in thier own interests, let alone anyone elses.
