Manufacturers and other service providers
Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
In your web page 'Why am I hearing a message advising the stream I am listening to will stop working mid-2023?' (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/questi...) you say (in relation to the cessation of the 'Shoutcast' streaming service, and the adoption of HLS and DASH streaming services):
'We informed manufacturers and other service providers of this change in May 2022.'
1) Please provide a list of all the 'manufacturers and other service providers' that you have supplied this information to.
2) Please provide details of the specific criteria used to select the 'manufacturers and other service providers' that were supplied with the information. If this is membership of trade associations or other bodies then please name them.
3) I am an internet radio manufacturer. Please provide a name and contact details so that I can obtain a copy of the information that has been supplied to other manufacturers. If you can't provide a name and contact details please provide information on how I can obtain the information that has been supplied to 'manufacturers and other service providers'.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Brooks
