The BBC director general has said the licence fee funding mechanism is good for at least another decade, while welcoming proposals that would modernise the universal levy for the internet age. After an important speech setting out ambitious plans for the “reinvention” of the BBC, Tony Hall welcomed last week’s report from the Commons culture, media and sport committee that said a universal household levy could replace a fee based on television ownership in the long term. “The most important thing is that the committee gave the licence fee at least 10 years. I think it will go beyond that but they said 10 years.”

In my opinion it is positive that the TV license fee is going to stay the same for the next 10 years. This gives people more security as they do not have to worry about the fee increasing.
