WSJ.com - BBC Test May Push Internet TV Viewing Closer to Mainstream: "The British Broadcasting Corp. will later this month begin a test that could spur more television networks to broadcast their programs over the Internet, altering the way people view their favorite shows.
About 5,000 selected viewers in the United Kingdom will be issued a computer program called the iMP (interactive media player) that allows them to download and share most of the BBC's TV programs for up to seven days, including its long-running soap opera EastEnders, the nightly news and major sporting events."
