If people actually have say in what shows end up on BBC and how its regulated. I could see it being a valid social means of regulating TV broadcasts.
BBC programming is quite good and I have watched quite a bit over the web (so I will agree in theory that BBC works). Yet I still think people should be able to have their TVs without needing a license and a government snooping around to make sure their not illegally watching BBC. It is a simplified solution to cheap socialized cable. Yet how much control do the people really have over BBC other than simple viewer ship? How does an unknown obscure, yet worthy show get a shot on BBC?
The internet has been great for getting stuff broadcast publicly (Ted Talks).
