Get back in your perambulators!
And those who can do what ever is needed so that I and other Mac
users, can use BBC services without being forced to download
microsoft products
Does not the Charter cover Discrimination? and giving one product an
unfair advantage?

Hi
Which is like paying income tax for Health Service and then having to
pay for prescriptions? ...
Can someone suggest a way of how you could efficiently and effectively
collect payment (s) that reflects all individuals use of BBC services
and programmes? Annual packages or subscription based on likes and
dislikes/hours viewed or listened/bbc web pages viewed/services
accessed/content downloaded/free concerts attended/freephone helpline
numbers dialed/...

Are you a BT customer? If so, you could try to demand a refund of the
part of your line rental that goes towards providing phone boxes for
those people that don't own a mobile, or towards provision of
telephone services in rural areas for those that don't live in a
city.
Or you could switch to a different (cheaper) telephone company -
people
are somewhat stuck with the BBC.
Pay council tax? Why not ask for a refund for provision of social
services to those people that require social services.
Pay income tax? All those people that don't have jobs or need medical
care or use any of the thousands of public services that you don't.
You could cut your payments down to only those services you use.
But with the iPlayer, a person has to first pay the tax (ie, licence
fee) and then they have to pay a single provider to actually use the
service. So it's like paying for the NHS and then being forced to pay
BUPA (and only BUPA and not, say, Norwich Union) to actually get a
particular treatment.
