BBC's iPlayer To Be Crossplatform

craig1709 writes "10 Downing Street has responded to the petition to open up iPlayer access for those on other operating systems. While the wording is confusing, near as I can tell, they say they will make the iPlayer available to users of those operating systems. 'The BBC Trust made it a condition of approval for the BBC's on-demand services that the iPlayer is available to users of a range of operating systems, and has given a commitment that it will ensure that the BBC meets this demand as soon as possible. They will measure the BBC's progress on this every six months and publish the findings.'"

If they used an open format for the system, producing a "iplayer" application for each OS wouldn't be important.

You don't think it's important that everyday people can actually listen/watch the material? How strange.
