The BBC were criticized about spending on proprietary platforms using the universal license fee from the get go after the trendy fan-boys there launched first with the just-launched low-penetration iPhone 1 over the likes of the more popular Symbian, blackberry, consoles, et al.

In the BBC Trust finally putting it’s foot down with this new standards-based policy after all these years, it is only doing what the premise of the BBC has meant to have been from it’s foundation at the beginning of the last century – of originating content/tech. to promote a single open platform to promote hardware.
