    RTE will get a licence fee increase of up to €6 a year on January 1, according to sources in the Department of Communications.

    Independent consultants are currently assessing by how much the €150-a-year licence fee should increase, but calculations by officials in the communications department have come up with the figure of €6.

    Last year the government agreed to give RTE an annual increase in the fee in line with inflation. The rate is currently about 2.3%, but it was higher for most of the year. A 3% rise would give RTE an increase of €4.50.

    Another rise? FFS! Do they want people to evade paying the fee?

    But the increase is being diverted to other broadcasters for the public service obligations ... like carrying party political broadcasts .....
