There's no ideal model for the licence fee if we accept the need for a state broadcaster. I've heard adding it to council tax as one suggestion which could help those on benefits and maybe help reduce the costs of collecting the fee.

The extra cost to subscribers would partly come from the need to paywall it across all platforms including Freeview and Freesat.
