Rejected petition Stop making the TV License taxable or decrease its price drastically
Rejected on
TV License was already expensive enough. For the second year in a row its price increased [1].
The ideal case would be to wave such fee entirely by substituting it with modern approaches, such as advertising, or including a smaller fee in TV plans.
Our right for free, public information matters!
