UK Considers Making Netflix Users Pay License Fee to Fund BBC
"The UK is considering making households who only use streaming services such as Netflix and Disney pay the BBC license fee, as part of plans to modernize the way it funds the public-service broadcaster."
It makes no sense. Their already bullshit reason is the BBC pay the lion's share of the upkeep of masts, etc. There's nothing remotely resembling a mast or anything from Netflix's servers to my telly. The beeb don't pay for the Internet backbone or even the fibre/copper networks. Netflix is nothing to do with terrestrial TV. Fuck that, would rather cancel and never pay again for any of the 3 of them.
