Its not what you all think it is....
I can see why sky and virgin are up in arms.
If the bbc do this then everyone in the uk will recieve a letter that says this:
"You are now able to watch *commercial* tv through your computer, we know this because your IP accessed our paying service. You now have to pay a TV license even though you dont own a tv or ariel or satellite dish."
basically we can no longer watch the bbc programs for free at all, anywhere. Personally if i was in charge I'd tell the bbc to shut the hell up and put adverts on their channels. They only produce rubbish anyway, eastenders? coronation street? what a load of tripe. Aside from Dr who and top gear, they have yet to produce a decent tv program that isnt geared towards house wives and home alone losers. The US has it right, shove commercials in and give tv to people for free. If I could I would sue the bbc for unfairly charging people for a service that should be free. They only provide pathetic tv that they cant even make right, AND scam you out of millions via fraudulent telephone competitions and think they are tv gods. Sky has it right, they know what is good tv and what is better off in the bin. 95% of BBC programming belongs in the bin because its been made by people who dont have a ruddy clue what people actually want on tv.
I hope that Scotland become independant because it means we can tell the BBC where to stick their tv license and rubbish tv programs.
