      The iPlayer service is able to detect you're IP address or ISP through your network and track down your location. As every area has a different IP, it would be easy to locate. There are IP locaters that allow systems to track physical locations around the world.  Unless you use a proxy server, it would be harder to track down your physical location, as it has no direct route back to your computer.
  • f you've got access to a PC back in the United Kingdom you can make a virtual private network tunnel back to that PC and connect to the iPlayer web site thru that PC, this can cause it to look like you are in the United Kingdom.

      A VPN is a private network that uses a public network to connect remote sites or users together. A key feature of a VPN is its ability to work over both private networks as well as public networks like the Internet.

      TOR and Foxyproxy are examples of alternatives for VPN. TOR(The Onion Router), is an online anonymity system keeping user's internet activities from being monitored. Foxyproxy is a a firefox plugin that allows you to add proxies, keeping your ip hidden when you use it.

      Who are the stakeholders and how are they affected by this technology? (WL)

      The stakeholders would be the users of BBC iPlayer. Though they are users of BBC iPlayer, but they only can watch the TV at restricted areas. If they want to have access to BBC abroad they would have to search through the internet for TOR or Foxyproxy to provide them with a VPN. This may cause BBC iPlayer to slow down as there are many free users who are using the website too, therefore users of BBC iPlayer may not be able to watch the TV consistently.

To check your identity they in turn must have 24hr access to the National Identity Register (NIR). Every time the card is used, information about when, where, and how it was used is stored on the database in the form of an audit log.
