No TV, no license

Thanks for the correction David. I was only 6 at the time so it must have remained a common misconception long afterwards!

It's going the other way here in Germany - they already had an EU66/year charge for Radio-only in their 'GEZ' license (EU204 for TV covers all) but they've this year introduced an EU66/year charge for Internet-connected PC's or UMTS cellphones, in the absence of getting your Euros from you any other way.

Only a matter of time before the UK catches on to that one?
