BBC and ITV are now streaming more of their TV channels via the BBC website. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/multicast) At the moment, only a few ISPs are allowing their users to access this content. Does anyone know if ntl are planning on allowing this content to their users?

I've not heard anything about this, but I imagine it will happen in due course. IIRC much of the BBC streaming video is only available on certain ISPs (although I think that includes most of the big ones now).

That list is all fairly small ISPs (possibly with the exception of JANET with their specialist market). I think they are still trying to keep the numbers down at the moment, because the big ones (BT, AOL, Tiscali, Wanadoo, Telewest) are all missing.
