OK -- it's projected to happen in ten years time, and to
replace the television licence . . . so what's so bad about
it? The BBC is probably the best broadcasting
corporation in the world, and people who grumble about
paying their television licence should be forced to watch
ITV 3 24 hours a day for an entire week.

Word!

If you don't want to pay for BBC, you're a cunt. I'd gladly
pay, but we're already paying for the Norwegian equivalent,
which, I must add, isn't really too shabby either, even if
their self-produced shows aren't as easily adaptable to
international broadcast (being in Norwegian, and all). We
also have selfish bastards who nag on and on about having to
pay for something "I don't use" and totally neglecting how a
purely market-run broadcasting scheme would underrepresent
parts of the populace's interests both in information and in
entertainment.

computer???

forgot to add... BBC propaganda machine. Al Jazzera is
probably a more reliable news source

Well, freqy, it's not due for serious consideration for
another decade, when I'm guessing it will be examined
whether or not television is piped in along with Internet.
So, I'm guessing it'll be if you have an Internet Connexion
rather than if you have a P.C.

gingaling - the BBC have wonderful education programmes --
maybe you could watch a few on English Language? In
between your Al Jazeera viewings, of course.

when was the last time you saw an English Language programme
on the BBC? But in agreement, yes they do put out some
pretty special TV. I just dont trust any goverment screened
news source. What did you learn in school about war time
propaganda, I believe what we see now is not much more than
a further extension of it. Thats all.

Im speaking for millions of people who use a computer but
dont watch BBC....why should we pay for a service that we
dont need or use?

I seriously doubt millions of people in the UK have a
computer but never watch / listen to / read BBC.

And, as the article says, and has been said to you twice,
it's projected to be seriously considered a decade from now,
and seemingly refers to internet specifically rather than
PCs generally.

dunno about british tv channels or whatever, but this kinda
makes sense.

in ten years time, you're not gonna have a tv, a games
console, a radio, a house phone, a mp3 player, a dvd player
and a pc. it's probs all gonna be in one unit, either in
your living room as a home entertainment system or a
portable device like a cellphone or whatever. that's why
microsoft blow so much cash on the xbox consoles, cuz it's
the future.

how will the bbc charge for tvs when nobody will have them
anymore? it would be like charging for record or betamax
players.
