BBC denies iPlayer password plans are part of licence fee crackdown
Summary: BBC has announced that viewers who want stream BBC iplayer online or want to download programmes, they would need to enter a password to do so, this would start from early 2017. They have done this so it creates "more personal BBC for everyone." They have introduced this because a lot of people have been watching programmes on the iplayer without a TV licences.
- The government has asked us to review whether a verification system for accessing the iPlayer will be required in the future.”
My opinion: I believe that this is a better way to make sure everyone who streams the BBC iplayer all do have a TV licences but I think certain groups especially students who live away from home (uni students) would find it unfair and harder since they are not able to watch the shows they since they don't have get a TV licence. But in terms of making sure that people have TV licence whilst watching the Iplayer would be very effective and could be very beneficial towards the institution. This also allows the viewers to know the importance of TV licences and maybe the institution values, this in addition could be another way that BBC are earning more profit.
