It should be possible to prevent non subscribers from accessing TV, the web site and apps in 10 years' time. Not sure how that would work on the radio stations, though, but I'm sure they will find a way!

I didn't say it would be cheaper. However it needn't be more expensive, given that the Corporation would be competing in the market place, and this would also ensure that they paid more attention to efficiences that could be made to cut unnecessary costs.

Being released from the current straight jacket that prevents them from undertaking bold innovative revenue generation schemes under the current arrangements means that they would be able to pursue other income streams to bolster revenues.
