Can anyone tell me if it is possible to access the BBC World Service radio broadcasts online in Vietnam?

I know some online broadcasts can't be accessed out of the UK.

Yes, I can also confirm ready access, not only on-line by computer, but also via iPad and iPhone apps.

I'm listening to a story about the Bangkok floods on the BBC right now.

Not sure if it matters, but BBC is on most Vietnamese cable TV systems as well, you can access it day and night.

If you really like listening to the radio, I recommend getting a wireless radio. I bought a cheap on made by Orange for about �40 when I was last in the UK, and Roberts, Pure and Squeezebox make more expensive models. They look like a normal radio and connect to your WiFi connection. I'm listening to crystal clear BBC Radio 4 as I type...
