@HecklerBlog it may be funded by the tax, but it's not necessary for iplayer. you need it for live streaming, not archived material. that's why the only time you are asked if you have the licence on the internet is when you watch the BBC live.
anyway, the bbc should compete on a level playing field. if it's good enough it will survive, otherwise it shouldn't broadcast and we'll have something better.
the US think we're a bunch of socialists and i can see their thinking!

@HecklerBlog I don't. And BTW, the licence isn't to own a tv, it's to watch or record television programs as, or virtually as, they're being broadcast. You can own a million TV's and you don't need a licence unless you do the above.

iplayer is funded by the license. Of course it's something to do with it.
