I wonder what the rationale is behind disallowing downloads/streams over 3G. Lack of bandwidth perhaps? Do the Beeb think they'll get complaints even though that's out of their control?

I do like the idea of a subscription model for iPlayer in overseas territories though. The more content BBC Worldwide can sell, the more money comes back into the UK for programme making.
