he BBC's iPlayer service is to be launched globally this year and it will cost people outside Britain half the price of the UK licence fee.

The international version of the iPlayer app will cost less than U.S. $10 per month - £6.13 - which equates to around £73 per year.

The annual license fee for UK viewers is £145.50 per year.

'We're exploring internationally what the right pricing and models are ... the most important thing is the consumer pricing is right,' said Mark Thompson, the BBC’s director general, at a conference in London.

He added that the iPad service will launch 'definitely this year', and said it will cost, 'a small number of dollars per month, definitely fewer than 10'.
