BBC mulls offering iPlayer technology to Channel 4 and ITV.
(From Guardian Unlimited)
The BBC is planning to offer Channel 4 and ITV the free and open use of its iPlayer online video technology, according to sources close to the corporation.
The offer will form part of its response to the public service broadcasting review being conducted by Ofcom.
The idea is being mooted as the BBC seeks to flesh out its offer of partnerships with other public service broadcasters.
Another idea under consideration is to establish an independent trust to oversee BBC Worldwide if Channel 4 takes a stake in it.
According to sources close to the negotiations, members of the BBC Trust were consulted on the final shape of the corporation's public service broadcasting review response at the weekend, in preparation for its delivery to Ofcom and publication later this week.
BBC insiders believe that its iPlayer technology is better than that developed in the private sector and that it is set to become the industry standard.
