The BBC Charter is up for renewal, and there are several elements of the BBC's existence that could be changed.
One of them is the Licence Fee funding mechanism - making it "means-tested", as is the Finnish broadcasting licence fee. Another item for consideration is public service programming, a decision that has long been part of the discussions on the CBC: Should CBC (or the BBC) participate in sports programming rights fee discussions such as the NHL or Wimbledon? Worth keeping an eye on...because the fortunes of the World Service are directly tied to the Licence Fee, which historically wasn't the case.
