  • Two years ago when we launched iPlayer our goals and challenges were largely technical - scalability, reliability, video encoding
  • next set of challenges was not so much technical as social
  • "As people begin moving from television to the web, what happens to the role of the linear TV scheduler as the tastemaker
  • platform capable
  • the scheduler is the leading tastemaker.
  • iPlayer does a fine job of satisfying the time-shifted desires
  • BBC schedulers create the desire to watch a programme; iPlayer lets you see it at a time that's convenient to you
  • what if you no longer watched linear TV? Who becomes the tastemaker then?
  • largely theoretical problem
  • iPlayer home page that feels almost more like an application than a traditional web site
  • in the world of YouTube where there is no master scheduler who can shape demand.
  • clear evidence that linear TV created the demand while iPlayer satisfied it.
  • wanted it to become a driver of demand, s
  • The question then is, in a world which cannot be driven by schedulers
  • if schedulers are going to be augmented by your friends as drivers of consumption in the future, the challenge for the team was to integrate friends and social into the iPlayer

  • designed Favourites to be like your mail Inbox, showing the total number of items, how many are newly arrived,
  • rely on Favourites to give me a constant stream of things to watch

    What is 1MB of data? 1MB* on average is: Browsing - using the internet on your O2 mobile O2 Active 40 pages approx Mobile internet sites outside of O2 (typically 3rd party websites not controlled by O2): 2-10 full web pages (depending on graphics, images, amount of text) 10-20 mobile web pages Sending and receiving E-mail from your O2 mobile 200 emails without attachment 10 emails with simple one page attachment Satellite Navigation 15 hours of Satellite navigation traffic alert service. Please note: Using GPS Sat Nav without the traffic alert service does not incur data charges. Important information The following services when provided by a 3rd party may consume large amounts of data and maybe subject to separate charge. We recommend you take a Browsing Bolt On if you use these services regularly: Downloading video clips from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB depending on the length and quality of the clip, plus the cost of the video Note - Downloading video clips/music/games from O2 costs the price of the content only with no additional data charges. Downloading high quality music tracks from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB per track depending on the length and quality of the track, plus the cost of the track Downloading games from 3rd party: typically 300KB, plus the cost of the game We recommend that you avoid the following on your mobile: Using VOIP** uses 1 MB of data every 3-4 minutes. Downloading full-length movies as this may use in excess of 1,000MB. Using video/ audio streaming devices (e.g. 'Sling box'), which connect your mobile device to your TV, also consume large amounts of data. Watching 15 minutes of TV on your mobile using these devices uses around 25MB. * These figures are based on typical usage. Actual data usage will depend on the content of web pages viewed and the length of emails sent/received. ** Typical VOIP usage is around 5KB per second but will depend on a number of variables including codec and voice sample t
