why would this mean that there's no licence fee next time? the press release is sketchy but some of the content on kangaroo will be licence fee content (i.e. iPlayer content) - how will this content be paid for without a licence fee? i will bet anyone on this mailing list a fiver that in 2026 there will still be something called "the BBC" and it will still be paid for by a licence fee

No real technical details, more a re-hashed press release, but an
interesting idea nontheless.
This was the original plan, wasn't it?
It also makes me think that someone somewhere (a certain Scott with the
initials GB) has said that there won't be another licence fee after the current
one runs out....
I can only be GB - I suspect he lent on Tessa "Shit For Brains"* Jowell in the
past.
