Listen again to BBC radio shows on the iPhone 7:49pm on 24 Sep 2008 It would be helpful if the BBC could clarify who has access to which services they offer for the iphone. I, for example, bought the IPhone with the expectation that I will one day be able to listen to live, streaming BBC radio in America from my mobile. BBC has promised that they will provide that they will stream their radio to mobiles in the future, and so I purchased the phone on that promise. If they will only provide radio services within the UK, then please tell me that so I can invest my time and attention properly. Or perhaps its that the BBC quite understandably will roll out the service in the UK first, and overseas later?

And it doesn't strike me that access to BBC radio on my mobile in the US would be a license fee issue, because the UK has ALWAYS broadcast its radio overseas, so why not to mobile? Its not like I don't already listen to BBC radio every single day on my computer over here in San Francisco.
Listen again to BBC radio shows on the iPhone 10:20pm on 23 Sep 2008 I am unable to access the IPlayer streams "starting today" from my IPhone 3G here in America (San Francisco to be exact). Specifically, when I go to the IPlayer mobile site, I don't get the full screen. Rather, I can only see the top bar (labeled "Home, TV, Radio, Search") and then the footnote portion ("Help, Contact Us, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy"). And none of these links work. I'm on a wi-fi conection, so I would expect to be able to reach the radio programmes at the very least.

Can someone else on an IPhone please write in with suggestions, or at least tell me if you are able to stream the radio programs yet? Also please tell me where you are from, because perhaps the radio programs are not available in the United States yet?
