BBC funding: TV licence fee to rise by £10.50, government says
--------------------------------------------------------------
The current TV licence fee of £159 will increase by £10.50 - a rise
of 6.6% - the government has announced.

The figure has been determined using September's rate of inflation,
rather than an average across the last year.

Due to the recent fall in inflation, that means the £169.50 figure
is less than the BBC and Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) had
anticipated.

The decision to raise it by a smaller percentage will leave an
expected funding gap of around £90m.

The government is also launching a review of the BBC's funding
model, Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer told MPs.

The increased fee will come into effect in April, having been frozen
at £159 for the past two years.

Since 2019, the elderly / over-75s are also required to pay the TV
Licence which was previously free.

My understanding is that _anything_ you can watch a tv show or movie on
requires a tv license, thus computers and even cellphones nowadays would
require a license.

The future isn't what it used to be. (It never was.)
