Comment on Ireland on the verge of extending TV licence to cover Internet

Comments

The contentious point will come if/when people start being charged for TV content for using a device that can receive streamed TV - eg businesses being charged a licence fee for each pc/blackberry/ipod. I'll be interested to see how this goes.

That makes sense - thanks for the clarification. Assuming there is a similar exclusion for business pcs then it might not be too bad. I suspect the end result will focus on residential homes with a TV or internet access.
