Isn't the BBC funded by the taxpayer? Is it even legal to block the public from receiving something they paid for? Seems like flash is forcing them to go against their charter. EDIT: Yup, definitely against its charter. I think its reasonably practical to provide a streaming method other than flash. Right now there is one way to access streaming content, not a "range of ways". "The BBC must do all that is reasonably practicable to ensure that viewers, listeners and other users (as the case may be) are able to access the UK Public Services that are intended for them, or elements of their content, in a range of convenient and cost effective ways which are available or might become available in the future. These could include (for example) broadcasting, streaming or making content available on-demand, whether by terrestrial, satellite, cable or broadband networks (fixed or wireless) or via the internet."
