or just scrap it

since all licence payers can watch BBC programming on their tv, why spend their licence money on a service that isn't (and can't be ) used by all licence payers, can be accessed by non-licence payers and eats up bandwidth.
The commercial arm of the BBC could fund iPlayer but where's the business case?
