Envisaged as a joint venture, Freesat will be developed and rolled out "as quickly as possible," the corporation said.
The BBC claims that 93% of the respondents to its consultation on the possibility of such a service believed it should be taking action to improve access to its digital services in the lead up to digital switch over.
It said the majority of organisations which responded were broadly supportive of Freesat, although some questioned whether it was the BBC's responsibility to create additional choice for consumers.
