People who watch TV on mobile phones or computers could face a £1,000 fine unless they have a £126.50 TV licence.

That sounds about right from our government, buy a phone and then buy a licence for it.
Still if you have a tv licence you should be ok.

Just one more advantage to being an expat and living outside the UK .. Dont have the silly telly license here.. And its cheap to watch on mobile.. As get my 3g service for free at present ( trial period from network. ) Though piracy is rampant here too... |

Thats unless the government changes the licencing laws over mobile tv, seeing that they can make extra money out of it

Why should first of all we be tempted to watch tv/listen to radio or wash our clothes using mobile?
