Have the BBC iPlayer available overseas as a paid tv subscription service.
To allow for Brits abroad and anyone else who wants to watch BBC content via iPlayer rather than prohibiting it.
I'm a British citizen living in Australia and would love to have access to the BBC. Presently it's only available on YouTube or other non official streaming services.
This then means that the BBC and the UK in general are missing out on a huge amount of revenue which could be used to alleviate the tv licence fee.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about the availability of BBC iPlayer in other countries are a matter for the BBC, not the UK Government or Parliament.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
