Developments

The BBC — where I work as a Software Developer.

Exciting developments in the near future include: the iPlayer! which will unify all the audio and video content on the site through a common front-end design. The current trend of making programs available to download through your broadband connection will continue. Some people would like to see every show available for download. Unfortunately we would not be able to afford the bandwidth.

Solutions to the bandwidth problem being discussed are:

  • peer-to-peer downloading of files
  • showing advertising for anyone downloading video overseas
