Hi Jeremy - no thoroughly researched citation. I recall speaking with some of the
people in ABC about the iView app, and they mentioned at least an intention for it to
be rate-adaptive, but this was a few years ago, certainly pre-july-2012, so I may have
confused the rate-adaptive mobile app as also applying to the web-based player - which
I imagine is also the basis for the iView app in the Playstation?

Telstra's video streaming app for content is definitely rate-adaptive, I had one of
the heads of Telstra Digital Media demonstrate it last year - I was also thinking of
that when I mentioned iView instead.
