Rejected petition I would call on the Government to continue to make BBC Iplayer a free service

A recent BBC News Article has said that BBC Iplayer is now to become a paid service, this is ridiculous. Considering this a catch up service and many such as On Demand 4 and Channel 5 are free to use and just need an account to be set up. I would call on the Government to make this a free service.

More details

I have included a link for the original BBC News article

This service must be kept free, otherwise the BBC will not modernise as the article claims, it will simply loose viewers, that is something I do not want.
