3g wont cope with iPlayer streaming. the battery would die before the
program finished.

plus iPlayer is P2P and uploading via 3g is very strangled.

Youre getting your iPlayers confused. The desktop iPlayer uses P2P technology. The streaming version doesnt.

Streaming iPlayer for iPhone requires a steady 600Kbps connection. Thats more likely the reason.
