Conclusion
The current TV licence fee is outdated and no longer fit for purpose: it does not reflect the way people watch television now, and the amount of income it generates is declining year on year. If the government does not act now, and the pattern of non-payment of the licence fee continues, there will not be a BBC as we know it by the end of the next Charter period. (Conclusion, Paragraph 59)
