The registration doesn't cost anything and is mainly targetted to find
people in the media business from the type of questions being asked, but I
understand why some might not want to do this.
The article only adds that the service will also give access to local area
programming as well as some features films for which the BBC has rights
clearance for.
One feature is mentioned that it will be possible for viewers who come in
through this service part way through a series to be able to view the
previous episodes they missed.
Clearly the BBC is not expecting to put their entire output on this system
but seems to be looking for a demographic lump of potential users and target
content accordingly.

Could you give us a better place to read more about it than the Guardian
Unlimited link you gave, which requires registration in order to read
the mentioned article?

Hi there,
If you've got broadband, listen up. It would be extremely useful if you
were to sign up to be a trial member of IMP: Internet Media Player from
the BBC.
Here's an article about it:
http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,7493,1485227,00.html
It is a truly fantastic brand new service due to launch next year for
the BBC; it's like a TV version of 'listen again' on the BBC website but
it's more intelligent than that, it's more like a cross between Listen
Again, Napster and Sky Plus.
I think it would be extremely useful for the development of this
software if any screenreader or screen enlargement users could get on
the trial. Details of how to contact them follow. Lets make sure that
this system is as accessible as possible. I think it's going to be
massive!
"The BBC is looking for 5,000 broadband users from all over the UK for
the trial. Anyone interested in taking part should email
imptrial@xxxxxxxxx, including their name, contact details, age and
postcode."
Apply now and get as many of your friends and colleagues with home
broadband and access technologies to apply for the trial too. Your
feedback is paramount.
This system is revolutionary ... we need to make sure it's also
accessible.
...Damon
