Introduction of a licence fee for PC\'s by th back door
In the Daily Star (Sunday 27th July) it is reporting that the BBC is in talks with the government about plans to split the TV licence fee up so those who watch tv but do not have a radio can pay less, conversley there will be a new licence fee chargeable to those who have a radio but no TV.
In effect this is the return of the Radio licence.
As PCs can receive radio broadcasts over the net, this will mean that even if you do not have a TV or radio you will be liable to pay the licence fee if you own a PC.
Already if someone does not own a TV but has a PC that can receive television pictures, they are liable to pay the TV licence.
