The whole TV Licence thing is quite bizarre, imho, but it's amazing how when it gets debated so many people stand up for it -- "the BBC is such a great institution it's a small price to pay" etc. etc.
Most of us pay it, but the premise that because you have TV capable of receiving BBC broadcasts you should be paying for same is fairly dodgy... at £10/month or similar it's not really very good value compared to, say, Sky. I think that if they made it optional, with some sort of subscription, they'd have to drop the price or add some extras in. Perhaps package free broadband and a couple of nights in Barbados... Sean
