BBC Says “Unprecedented Funding Challenge” Lies Ahead As Content Spend Set To Fall By $200M

I just wish there were a legal way to stream BBC content (i.e. iPlayer) outside the UK. I'd gladly pay the licence fee (as a non-resident) or more, to be able to watch all their content without having to grub around on a million different services.
Whether there'd be enough people in the same boat to be able to make up a $200M shortfall, I don't know, but it seems like it could be a pretty big untapped market.
They tried, it launched in some countries, but US broadcasters threatened to stop buying BBC content if they launched Global IPlayer in the US, so the whole project was scrapped.
Well here's at least second one who'd gladly pay it for similar access.
