A lot of European countries have a list of events which must be freely available. I guessing Wimbledon is on that list in the UK.

heh. not sure if that's a internal joke from them... but they did wait until nobody is getting signal from airwaves to put in place rules limited to airwaves distribution. bloody marvelous.

I think most people got "signal from airwaves" in 1996.

Most people still do, although don't necessarily use it very much.

Does iPlayer over Wifi count as "signal from airwaves"?

How do? This list was drawn up in 1991 when pretty much everyone was still using signal from airwaves
