I'm all for a subscription-based service. I just disagree with the license fee being mandatory. In this day of hi-tech digital broadcasting, shouldn't it be easy to simply switch off BBC TV if you don't pay the license. People shouldn't be sent to prison for watching the telly.

As for radio, IIRC, that is technically a 'free' service not covered by the license. At least that's what somebody on the radio once said many, many years ago when there was a debate about the license fee back then (sometime in the 80s).

And, yes, I do have a license...
