"The BBC has confirmed the "global" version of its iPlayer on-demand service will close next month. The corporation had charged users subscription fees to watch programmes via the app in Western Europe, Australia and Canada."
It is interesting to note (but not surprising), that "American pay-TV operators had threatened to drop the BBC America channel if the app had launched locally because they believed it would cost them viewers".
It really is a shame because I for one would have signed up in a heartbeat if it had been extended further.
