Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
I did, in the Times.
"could be" is not "will be", and "allow subscription funding of the BBC to be considered" is not "will be", no matter how much you try to spin it...

The BBC could be moved away from the TV licence to a subscription model when superfast broadband is rolled out to all homes, the media minister said last night.
John Whittingdale said that there would “come a time” in the next few years when a Netflix-style funding system would be possible, but it would require every household to have the technology to watch programmes on demand over the internet, which is not the case now.
Whittingdale said that the government’s plans to accelerate the expansion of broadband could allow subscription funding of the BBC to be considered by the time the corporation’s royal charter expires in 2027.
