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.

The question you have to ask is why would a public service broadcaster need a decoder ,the BBC is meant to be a public service with a shared cost ,any other model simply will not be a public service imo.
If you are saying that we no longer need a public service broadcaster like the BBC,CH4 and i think CH5 then that is a totally different discussion to one of should we have TV licence
