10% opting out would reduce the budget dramatically.

The BBC are under so much financial pressure, and so much scrutiny, that they are already looking at cost cutting anyway. So don't expect that to contribute to a lower subscription cost in the distant future
.
The BBC are doing a lot more than looking at cost-cutting, they're doing it! £700m a year worth of cuts. Hence the end of Formula 1, reduction in BBC3's budget and move online, relocation to Salford. But they still need to save another £50m a year.
