Why would the BBC become a private company if all they do is set a subscription charge based on the present charge set by the Government, that way those who wish to pay and watch can and those who don't want to pay don't watch.
A subscription linked to a decoder and card would NOT mean the BBC is a private company. All it would do is make the BBC produce quality programs because if they don't they will not get the subscribers. If it mean that the BBC's output gets better then that's great if not then the senior managers might at last get a kick in the behind unlike now where they know they get the money no matter how bad they perform.
