Net neutrality: BBC urges Ofcom to protect iPlayer

ISPs could wield 'gatekeeper power' in conflict with public sector broadcasters unless regulation is modernised, it warns

The BBC has called for stronger protection for digital TV services such as iPlayer to make sure internet providers treat them fairly.

In its submission to Ofcom's once-in-a-decade review of UK communications, which was published on Thursday, the BBC said the communications regulator and Ofcom needed to modernise regulation and ensure incoming net neutrality rules were enforced.
