The BBC could make a fortune out of allowing other channels onto iPlayer. UKTV is one example but something like Channel 5, who probably struggle to get people to stream their stuff normally, would get a huge amount of extra exposure.

Yeah. If there were to be one unified platform for the BBC, ITV, C4, C5 and UKTV then iPlayer would be a very strong competitor to Netflix. In an ideal world they could monetise and add adverts to some programmes and have the BBC's remain ad-free.

The best thing about iPlayer is that it simply works and the BBC have done a decent job in providing the only 50fps 'free' VOD service going, but All4 is now 1080p as standard for the majority of their output, but it is being left behind by Netflix and Amazon who offer up to 4K and 1080p is the norm on those platforms.
iPlayer really needs to have 1080p as standard across the board for their VOD as while 720p/50fps is good, it could be better.

I'm sure there was a brief point around 2010/2011 where the TV Guide function also gave the ITV/C4/C5 channels and you could click the programme links and it would take you to the relevant catch up services.
