Oh. Thanks. But I knew that. "Cellphones" threw me off I guess.
Oh they're making increasingly mundane things require a license. There literally is one for watching TV
The TV licence has been around since 1946. Are you able to name one "increasingly mundane thing that now requires a licence" which didn't previously?
The money from paying for the TV licence pays for the BBC. You don't need a licence if you don't watch BBC channels/streaming.
It’s any live broadcast, not just bbc
