"BBC telly tax drops onto telly-free households. Cough up, iPlayer fans
Compulsory subscription for iPlayer will become law, vows Minister of Fun
The UK's Minister for Fun will rush through legislation to allow the BBC to impose a compulsory subscription on people using iPlayer to watch catchup TV.
The BBC wants to plug a “loophole” that allows households that do not watch live transmissions, and do not need a TV licence, to watch BBC content. The licence costs £145.50 ($206) a year per home for the vast majority of Brits."
