Earlier quoted context omitted.
The license fee is fairer than a tax, because if you don't watch terrestrial television you don't have to fund it. For example, if you just watch Netflix, you don't need to pay for a license fee. If the license fee were replaced with a tax I would end up paying more than the cost of a license fee for something I don't use - not keen.
This depends on the country. In some countries you pay the license if you own a car or a computer.
Yep. I was talking about the country in the article.
