Ofcom in 2010 found that of Sky's £20 base pack, only £3pm made its way to programming. The rest is spent on equipment, marketing, service charges and administration, etc. Making the TV licence optional will greatly increase its cost, or reduce the anount spent on programming, as the Sky example shows.
