I think you're missing the bigger picture, the Beeb makes a shed load of 
cash punting its wares all over the world, like BBC America for 
instance. While iPlayer is free in the UK, it's only a matter of time 
before they start charging non-UK IP addresses... The Wii shop makes 
this easy and with the Wii being the best selling next-gen console at 
the moment it's an obvious step for both Nintendo and the Beeb...
