BBC iPlayer to Go International on Connected TV and Tablets

Reversing an earlier decision, which called for a slowdown in plans, the BBC has decided to go ahead and roll out a free based iPlayer TV application around news on connected TVs.Plans for an ad-supported, fully fledged iPlayer are also in the pipeline from BBC Worldwide.

According to William Cooper at Informitv, it will be followed by  a global version of the iPlayer, initially available on the iPad in Europe for a monthly fee.
