I said BBC stuff should be available to download for free for UK users. Charge the rest of the world a quid or two if they want to download it.
But who's going to pay for bandwidth and storage?
And who's going to pay for the BBC to buy the rights to do this from all of the parties involved?
I am obviously only talking about BBC shows. Bandwidth and storage isn't going to be any more of an issue than the iPlayer is now. And they would actually be making money by charging non-UK users.
Or they can leave it how it is and people will download it all for free anyway.
