International iPlayer to cost $10 per month BBC Worldwide is expected to announce today that their oft-delayed international iPlayer will cost $10 per month.
In the UK, the service gets over 1 million users per month, and has been a runaway success, much in the way Hulu is in the United States.

Western Europe will be the first to get the app, followed by other nations in a phased rollout.

The iPlayer gives access to hit shows like Doctor Who the day (or week) after they air, for free, with ads.

In its international form, the subscription will allow users to check out history, food and children's programs, as well.
