I think I can see the possibility of the TVL becoming a precept on top of council tax, with the collecting authority passing on the appropriate amount to the BBC as a 'PSB tax' or somesuch. I suspect, also, there is now a greater likelihood of an idea the BBC likes somewhat less : top slicing the fee so other broadcasters can apply for funding for public service programming.
I think you're pretty much on the money there, Chris.
