Correct. It was a funding option considered but discarded.

The BBC and/or the Television Licensing authority were considering
introducing a higher rate for digital, to pay for the BBC's investment in
the new transmitters needed, but the proposals were abandoned.

Is it still necessary, strictly speaking, to have a licence for a radio? I
know that nobody does, but was the requirement ever actually repealed?

Clue:- freeview


Yeah but thats what the bbc are like telling you its free but not mention
the extra license fee even though there isnt one I now know. the bbc is one
long advert for how ****ing fantatstic it is, they put more effort into
those trailers between programmmes than the programmes themselves, they cant
justify the license fee anymore, its just eastenders and the latest ****
they've put a former "actor" from eastenders into. thats why I dont wanna
pay even more money theres a good reason you'd never see a soap actor
again once they'd quit and it shows you how bad tv is now that theres so
many of them still working, they deserve to spend the rest of their lives on
the dole

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........ Let's not have another dull monotonous Licence
fee debate..... or at least move it to uk.media.tv.misc where they can drone
about the subject for years.
