BBC to Trial Worldwide Multicast Streaming?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the please-yes-please dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There are tantalizing hints, via The Inquirer, and other tech news sites, that the BBC may extend its multicast streaming services to non-UK citizens, for material where rights allows. There's details about how ISPs may peer to join the multicast trial network on an official BBC page." We previously covered the BBC's multicast streaming of the Olympics, unfortunately not available in the U.S.

    It's a bit suprising how badly EastEnders does in the US though, considering it's the highest rated show on BBC One.

    I think its more suprising how well it does in the UK considering its such a shitty soap. hollyoaks is better, but still not worth the 30 mins of my day it would take to watch it
