Now, this is fascinating. As I wrote a month or so ago in The Globe and Mail, the BBC plans to unlock its vast library of television programming and make much of it, particularly news and documentary shows, available online under a Creative Commons license. The Guardian reports that to overcome the immense server and network costs associated with putting what some say is the world's greatest library of television programming online, the BBC hopes to employ a P2P architecture a la Napster along with its own proprietary media player. Not sure if I think adding a proprietary media player is a good idea, but what a terrific idea to harness the Internet to serve up your content via P2P.
