Though in the end there is absolutely no difference.
In Sweden we are abandoning that concept because it is an unfair system and lots of people have switched to the internet for the same content (and don't even have a TV).
- orf 8y agoIt's just semantics, sure, but it does mean the UK's largest broadcaster is not state-owned and has independence. That's important.
- tjoff 8y agoIt does not. Politicians have absolute power over funding regardless. They decide exactly how much BBC can collect and in what circumstances (or they give BBC the mandate to do it themselves, but they can revoke or change that at will). It is just one, insignificant, layer of indirection.
