Compared to Sky/VM subs it's terrific value, £12 a month. The cost is only so low because of its universal nature, moving to a subscription would mean costs increasing significantly and it content being the same as commercial channels, ie. crap. The BBC make programmes others don't because of its funding stream.
I agree about the comparison of the cost of the licence fee with the pay tv operators, but I think it will prove unsustainable to continue to fleece those who don't want to access BBC content.

You may be bored with the debate on this, Mr K, but for some people this is a real issue. We keep hearing people prattle on about fairness, and yet for some curious reason, those same people are silent on this clear example of unfairness.
