There is an increasing number of services operating both a free or reduced price option with advertisements and an advertisement free option at a higher price.

Your post assumes it is not possible to change your business model. They may be forced to do so. It is disgraceful in this day and age that people who never make use of BBC services are still obliged to pay for the Corporation. It is also a disgrace that some are making use of their services and getting away with not paying.

The subscription model overcomes these problems. Ultimately, the BBC will need to adjust.
