They announced providers for each country getting such a service, of which iPlayer/UK was just one. It wasn’t a big “iPlayer for the UK” announcement.

Different countries, different TV channels. Only for Europe though. This + PlayTV + VidZone + Movie Store (soon) means European PS3 owners are doing ok for video content. Heh.
