Re:DRM is the problem (Score 1)

The BBC iPlayer is not fully released to the general public yet - it's still in beta and the intention is to make it cross platform (though I don't know if this is guaranteed prior to full public release). This is really no different to the roll out of digital TV. I constantly see adverts for digital channels which I am paying for but can't receive in the area in which I live (unless I pay for cable or satellite). Unfortunately, I'll have to wait a few years before being able to receive them. As for ISPs complaining - I was in the original test group for the player a couple of years ago. The opportunity to join the test group was via an email from my ISP - NTL (now Virgin)!
