What tablet? I don't own a tablet...

Mine is 10 inches.

They should deal with this first:

TV licence evasion is already extremely high with over €40m not collected every year.

This will just be another charge that people won't pay.

This plan has been in the pipeline for years.... the broadcasting licence

This will only affect those that don't already pay their TV licence.

Basically your details will probably be passed on at point of purchase. Same as if you buy a TV in the North or GB.

It will eventually pull in every household in the country, weather you watch TV, listen to the radio, access the Internet. Although knowing are government, rather that make it cheaper than the TV licence, and still bring in more than the current set up, it will probably be more expensive.

There are people who have screens and no television subscriptions. I know if I could convince my missus we'd drop Sky and watch Netflix, Channel 4, BBC etc online.
I absolutely resent having to pay the television licence. I don't listen to any RTE stations on the radio and I never, yes never watch RTE 1 or 2. I'm paying for something I don't want, don't use and never will use.

The government must think the internet is free. We're already paying to access the net plus whatever subscriptions.

Apart from the sheer stupidity of the whole TV license nonsense, I would have thought it would be easier to apply to Netflix subscriptions and similar services than to try and target laptops and devices.

Probably the next Irish water fecked up approach.

I guess this would also include any business with desktop computers but no TV.

using the rte player online should require your license number that way their fees are covering their services.

They should just make the whole thing subscription based like sky, let the people who want it pay for it and then you can access the online services too.

MilesMorales1

And they want to double the licence fee at the same time? Good luck with that.

I would imagine the only way they might get a full complicence is if they get on to the tv/or isp and lable them with the fee to pass it onto their customers

So even if the customer has internet only they can still collect the licence fee

But only if your screen size is under 11 inches

They haven't been able to make everyone pay for a licence up to now, what are they going to do that changes that.
A lot of the younger generation have no interest in typical tv channels and the like. We haven't had a T.V. station subscription service or any aerial to receive channels for years, just not interested. A load of ballcocks if you ask me.

As it says here, they will have fun trying to prove and enforce it.

Whether you've a telly or not, it will be fascinating to watch them trying to enforce this...

Silane

The people at RTE and in government genuinely seem to struggle to believe that a lot of us don't use any RTE services at all. If they made it a subscription service and only charged E20 a year I wouldn't pay it, I don't need it and don't want it at any price.

I've known plenty of people with tv's who didn't use'em to watch tv. Ideally you should only need the tv/broadcast license if you intend to use those services.
