Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

Yes I just read it.
The official figure for the iPlayer is now ... *£131 million*.

| We asked the BBC for clarification concerning the cost discrepancy.
| In a statement, the BBC said:
|
| The figures for the total estimated spend on the BBC's
| on-demand proposals are as follows:
|
| * £131 million was the forecast for the total cost to the
| BBC for its on-demand proposal over a five year period
| (start 2006/07). This includes rights costs and other
| operational and technical costs.
| * The £4.5 million discussed in November was the total
| spend at the time for the development of BBC iPlayer.
| * However, this figure now stands at £5.7 million. The
| increase is due to current year spend now being included
| in the figure.
