The watching via the internet thing is interesting to me. Here in Britain you need to pay the licence fee to watch or record TV as broadcast. So if you watch TV via the catch-up services (iPlayer, ITVPlayer, 4OD, Demand Five, etc) then you are exempt, however if you live stream using those services (iPlayer definitely allows this, I'm not sure about the others) then you are expected to have a valid licence. This is because they are so massively behind the times when it comes to technology, its basically a loophole that may or may not be fixed at some point.

Aside from that, there are other restrictions that come from the licence fee, like in the UK we can't watch anything from BBC America (it's region blocked) because that's all paid for through advertising and if the BBC made a licence fee payer watch an advert they'd be in breach of their terms.

As for the future, I don't know. I can't believe any government would be comfortable being the ones who 'killed' the BBC, but who knows.
