It's not about cost or any channel being refused one as, if all the conditions are met, Ofcom (in the case of the UK) must issue a licence. It's about TV platforms ensuring that channels make any neccessary arrangements in order to prevent themselves from getting prosecuted for broadcasting unlicensed and, therefore, unauthorised services.

You might think that it is a given that this is done in order to stay in business, but every year some channels fail to pay the annual fee or other compliance issues, just in the same way that bars fail to renew their alcohol licenses and then complain if they are effectively closed down.
