Brian Butterworth said > * Everyone currently has to pay the licenece fee, as long as they have equipment capable of receiving television broadcasts (from analogue terrestrial, Freeview, Sky/Freesat, cable or IPTV). Mr Highfield, as the BBC's representative, is breaking the trust of the Licence Fee payers HE has determined to ignore.
The license fee gives you a license to own equipment capable of receiving broadcast television. If all you have in your house is a computer (no TV card) and an internet connection, then you don't have to pay a license fee. So you can use the iPlayer without paying the license fee.
