That isn't strictly true about the BBC but they are certainly being cautious regarding 3D.
The final stages of Wimbledon will be covered in 3D in partnership with Sony (which is similar to Sky, it seems the TV manufacturers are pouring the real money into 3D, the broadcasters including the likes of Canal+ are not really seriously being exposed financially), obviously the BBC don't have a TV platform to provide this in the UK but it will be made available worldwide and will be available here at other outlets like cinemas and private closed circuits.
They are not satisfied that the current technologies will become the de facto standard so seem to be keeping all their options open which seems wise. And let's face it even Sky (with their solitary 3D channel and endless repeats) are not exactly going bust with 3D as there simply isn't the content to support it. It's HD which appears to be driving subs for them and VM and I think that will be the case for quite some time yet.
