BBC Ads on International Pages

I am currently delivering an eMarketing course in Jakarta, Indonesia and one evening (well, every evening), I thought I'd check the news from home on the BBC. I was quite surprised to find on this occasion that, on opening the BBC website, they are now delivering banner ads. So far I have seen rich html ads appearing above the general BBC homepage template and in the top right corner (just below the nav bar) and video ads, appearing just before sports news stories. Let's just hope that some of this money goes to reducing the amount we have to pay in the UK for license fees (current cost £139 per year)!
