In the UK, you generally need one license per household, and it covers
all TVs in the house. Students living in halls of residence will need
their own license if they have one in their room- you alse need a second
license if you have a separate home, etc. Cost is around £120, a lot
less if you only have black and white, but I imagine that's rare
nowadays. There are also licenses for hotels etc. The license fee in the
UK, broadly, funds the BBC.

Not in the UK. Generally speaking, it's per household. Hotels, for
example, have to submit the number of TVs they have, and pay a bulk
amount, usually quite a substantial discount over the 'individual' cost.

The licence covers a household. If the house is divided each tenant
with a TV needs a license.
but first you have to pass an operators test.

The BBC via a roundabout route. It's to pay 47 scriptwriters and a
similar number of talentless actors to do Eastenders.

Re: Licensing tellys
You license your house or flat, and for that you can have as many
televisions (i.e., equipment that can receive TV broadcasts) as you
like. The money funds the BBC.

President Bush also has a DUI record for drunk driving in Maine. Many
Canadians thought it would be quite funny if he were refused
permission to enter the country, but apparently Presidents go through
a different check line.

The BBC is hardly a monopoly and its not an arm
of the state. Its a not for profit corporation.

That job was done by post office detector vans but they
scarcely bother any more. The computer database
tells them which houses dont have a TV license and
they simply check those out.

Nope
It operates under a Royal Charter as an autonomous corporation
run by a board of governors who appoint a general manager
with the title of Director General.

INCORPORATION
1. The Corporation shall continue to be a body corporate by the name of The
British Broadcasting Corporation with perpetual succession and a common seal
with power to break, alter and renew the same at discretion; willing and

and be capable in law to take and hold real and personal property and do all
matters and things incidental or pertaining to a body corporate, but so that
the Corporation shall apply the whole of its income solely in promoting its
objects. The Governors of the Corporation shall be the members thereof.
