Who pays to deliver my TV pictures?
If I watch the BBC or any other Freesat TV channel, then the delivery - by satellite or terrestrial - cost is paid via a compulsory licence fee for my TV. I just have to buy a sat-box & aerial.
But if I chose to watch BBC programs via the internet, on iPad's TV Catchup or the BBC iPlayer, then I pay for the delivery again through my broadband charges, which are not to be ignored. Say I use 50% of my bandwidth for TV, and I pay £20/month for fibre 10mbps broadband then it is costing me another £240/year above the licence fee of, what, £140…
What gives?
If the broadcasters want to provide TV on the internet, they have to pay for my broadband costs, no? I think the charging has to change.
