Think that's underestimating the huge lobbying power that the BBC has and the desire of the British establishment to have a major broadcaster under their ultimate control. It also suits the other broadcasters far more to have a weakened BBC supported by some form of tax than a major commercial operator taking revenues from advertising or subscription away from them.
