Through the power of the Internet you can now watch the BBC live on your PC, laptop or (if you've got the right one) your phone.Now that got me thinking about the licence fee and what it covers and more importantly how they can now police it?
If I'm sat at home watching TV then I should have a licence and i guess if I'm watching at home on my laptop then equally I should have a licence. But what if I'm in McDonalds (using their free wifi) & watching on my laptop, or on the bus watching on my phone, how do the licencing authority know whether I've got a licence or if so whose name it is in? Equally at present each house hold needs to have one, but can an 18 year old son use his parents licence, when he's at the other end of the country, say at a football game?
I'm a huge fan of the BBC and don't want it funded in any other way, but the way we watch the BBC is only going change further and get less TV focused and more multi-platform. Is the licence flexible enough to keep up?
