New EU rules on portability of online content services move closer

The BBC currently block real-time distribution of some programmes in the UK via the internet on iPlayer. Yet they are being transmitted simultaneously as digital signals on terrestrial TV and probably satellite. Presumably they are also available via BT or Virgin over their subscriber digital connections.

Does this EU ruling mean that the BBC will have to find a way to verify their paid up licence holders using iPlayer? Thus delivering them all the live content that their licence entitles them to receive.
