For a very small Licence fee the BBC provide TV, Radio and internet services which dominate the market. Compared to the costs of Sky and Virgin media its easily in reach of anyone who can afford a TV/computer. You only need one licence per household - so you can have as many TV's as you like. Sky and Virgin both charge extra for set top boxes in additional rooms. The BBC is a leading innovator in the industry with HD and the iPlayer being two recent successful additions. Many of their programs are regularly top of the viewing lists (ok many of them are SOAPS/gameshows but it keeps the masses happy). Their science and nature programmes are the best around and they also put on many cultural events that would not be available otherwise - Last Night of the Proms etc etc. The problem I see with the BBC is that its so dominate that independent TV and news services struggle to come up with financial models that will work. With advertising revenue being squeezed the only option is to charge and people have to choose to pay. Sky and Virgin are slowly making inroads but it costs.
