What about about the contractors who pay TV license fee and happen to be abroad during the week? It used to be proxy for me and it still is I'm definitely not paying twice just to find out that country I'm in is not on the list yet...

I see they are still after students. A few years ago they were actually advising them to take out student loans to pay for their TV licences.
TV Licensing - Students
If you don’t watch or record television programmes, or you only stream TV programmes online after they’ve been broadcast – through on-demand services like YouTube, BBC iPlayer and 4oD – you don’t need to be covered by a TV Licence.
Or all of these are true- Your out-of-term address is covered by a TV Licence
- AND you only use TV receiving equipment that is powered solely by its own internal batteries
- AND you have not connected it to an aerial or plugged it into the mains.
Hey it's improved. Sort of. They don't ban rechargeable batteries any more!

The app will have one feature not available in the UK - the ability to download content and watch offline.

So much for the sanctimonious crap about "Our charter only allows us to broadcast within the UK" that we've been hearing for years.
I would have gladly paid for this a dozen years ago. Too late Aunty, I found another solution.
Rather than a seven-day catch-up service, it will offer a showcase of BBC shows, old and new. Examples given include Fawlty towers, Only Fools and Horses, Sherlock and Doctor Who.Last edited by Sysman; 28 July 2011, 10:06.

BBC launches global iPlayer app
Finally.
BBC News - BBC launches global iPlayer app
The app will have one feature not available in the UK - the ability to download content and watch offline.
The project is being run BBC Worldwide-- the corporation's commercial arm - which said that money earned would help supplement licence-fee income.
Initially, global iPlayer will be available in 11 European countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Republic of Ireland, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.
It will cost 6.99 euro per month (£6.14), with the option of an annual subscription priced at 49.99 euro (£44).
