The BBC is required but the BBC Agreement to ensure that audiences are able to access the UK Public Services that are intended for them. The  overall cost of maintaining the distributing content is significant - some £210m, or 6% of the licence fee. ​

​

The distribution policy was reviewed and updated in 2012. The reason for this was that there had been considerable change in the technology world. Now the majority had smartphones so they could access all the programmes if they had the correct app. This resulted in the broadcasting and IP environments were blurring into one.​

​

The Distribution framework covers the distribution of TV, Radio and Online services (including BBC iPlayer and Red Button services) to any device used to access them including TVs, radios, personal and tablet computers, games platforms, set top boxes, and mobile phones. To oversee all off this the BBC set up their own Executive Board to manage that the principals of the BBC Trust are fulfilled.​

​
