Re: Funding of the BBC
Here is a prime example of how the licence fee system actually hinders the BBC from delivering its content to viewers. Ofcom is playing hardball with the Beeb's plans to provide more content on the i-Player and they are continuing to restrict the amount of time it is on there, in most cases, to a 30 day period.

Moving to a voluntary subscription model should resolve this problem as this would mean the BBC was competing fairly and on a level playing field. Thus, they would have more freedom from Ofcom as the competition concerns would no longer be there.

This decision clearly shows that the existing licence fee system is actually detrimental to viewers as well as to competing providers.
