Licence Fee
A television licence or broadcast receiving licence is a payment required in many countries for the reception of television broadcasts, or the possession of a television set where some broadcasts are funded in full or in part by the licence fee paid. The fee is sometimes also required to own a radio or receive radio broadcasts. A TV licence is therefore effectively a hypothecated tax for the purpose of funding public broadcasting, thus allowing public broadcasters to transmit television programmes without, or with only supplemental funding from radio and television advertisements.

Some countries adopted the advertising model, but many others adopted a compulsory public s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
