> What kind of monetization model would this be for BBC? BBC is taxpayer funded by Britons who have elected British officials convinced of the benefits of using taxpayer funds to influence perception (or even just prevent misinformation) of Britain and Britons, using BBC's global reach. That is, BBC is not required to completely balance the books with consumer payments received in exchange for entertainment. British taxpayers are also part funding the BBC to ensure the soft diplomacy benefits of the BBC continue to be enjoyed by British people.
