Default GA's "fair share"

Here in the UK the answer is yes to just about all those questions

In the UK they charge to have a television on.

In the UK they charge to have a television on.

Not quite, we charge for having premises with a device capable of receiving
television signals, so if a computer has a TV card, a licence is needed. So
in my house we have 3 TVs and two computers capable of receiving TV pictures
but the is only one charge. The fee pays for our public service broadcasting
(BBC)

Mind you our public service broadcasting is the best in the world and for
50cents a day is good value. Not having to watch commercials actually makes
watching TV pleasant. I just cannot get one with watching TV in the States.
Our commercial TV has a limited number of breaks in the hour, and when there
is a football match on then no interruptions for ads until half time.
