BBC’s IPlayer Takes Online Video Programming to the Edge. The iPlayer, which is only available to U.K. users, debuted in July 2007 as a stand-alone application for only Windows PCs that could download programs from the previous seven days via P-to-P (peer-to-peer) file sharing.
But over the last 10 months, the iPlayer has seen major upgrades to the way it can deliver video, video quality and compatibility with an ever-expanding number of mobile devices, putting the iPlayer on the forefront of Internet video delivery. The BBC is solving many of the problems with online video delivery that have vexed other services around the world.
“We are going to be putting a lot of research and development into this,” said Anthony Rose, head of the BBC’s digital media technology and former CTO of Kazaa, a P-to-P file-sharing service that rankled the music industry. “I hope we’ll be a real leader in this area.” Solstizio d estate, währungsrechner, BBC iplayer, svetlana pankratova height
