BBC to offer show downloads

I knew I heard about this somewhere before...but not in this form. I originally thought the BBC was going to open up their entire archives for free (outlandish, I know, but I'm pretty sure I heard that a couple of years ago from a BBC official). Anyway, with this incarnation, the BBC will sell (that's right, you have to pay) access to a week's worth of shows. Details are scarce right now, but it looks like the service will be international (originally it thought this service would be limited to UK IP's). Link.
