Mark Huggers, The BBC's Director of Future Media and Technology, has said that he wants to see the BBC iPlayer go global.
This is great news, as it means that in Ireland we would be able to access all of the features on the Player that are blocked to us now.
You can access the radio feeds and listen again to audio in this country, which of course is great. The chance to use the TV sections as well though, would be a real bonus.
Speaking at a Screen Digest conference he also spoke about using the BBC website in a more interactive way:
"I know that bbc.co.uk is the third biggest web property in the country, yet every time I go there I feel completely alone. Instinctively, I know there are other people on the site so the idea is connecting audiences with programming and with each other, embracing that big theme of social media".
