Neutral

I believe the BBC is looking to
A) Create a new Revenue stream
B) Allow non UK residents decent access to BBC programing (we will either pay or see Ads).
Right now in the USA (for instance) the BBC programming is shown on BBCAmerica (not every cable company offers it, or on a very adhoc, read infrequent basis) via PBS channels etc. Very unsatisfactory for both potential viewers and the BBC.
Thus some of these news BBC internet channels are being specifically orientated to a new cadre of viewers willing to see Ads or even pay.
