Evolution of the iPlayer article
29/12/08
Whilst studying at Bournemouth University, I sat in guest lecture from the Head of Technology at the BBC (c2006) who discussed the iPlayer sphere before its existence and ever since the area has always been an interested. Consequently the evolution of the iPlayer amazes me, specifically the coupling of advances in technology and the changes in viewing habits whilst sitting within a public service umbrella.
Anthony Rose has headed up the Online Media Group at the BBC since Sept ‘07 and has just had a interesting article published by the European Broadcasting Union. Various interviews feature within the article that focuses on, ‘The Evolution of the BBC iPlayer‘ and makes for interesting reading.
