The BBC leads the way in online services such as iPlayer, and that requires funding. I say that even though I rarely use catch up services.

I agree, but would point out that the tax has been frozen, rather than cut, and that will still result in a BBC offering 6 channels and hd variants, numerous radio stations and cutting edge online services. It's really hard to argue that at a time when households are having to make tough decisions an organisation which once paid Jonathon Ross £18m shouldn't shoulder some of the burden.
