You are ignoring the whole point here, they want an internet licence to replace the BBC TV Licence!

May 21st, 2009 at 7:29 pmI currently do not pay a license fee because I do not have, nor am interested in getting, a television. I would pay a subscription fee to use the iPlayer for the convenience it offers in listening to radio programmes, but if I were asked to pay for a whole TV license, I would do without.

June 26th, 2009 at 12:54 amI don’t have a TV, but yesterday I received another friendly letter of tvlicensing asking me if this situation has changed, it also states that we have to pay the license if we have a computer, dvd player and even a mobile phone! sorry, but I think this is a disgrace, I already pay for my internet connection, my mobile phone service and the DVDs I have have been purchased and payed for the right to watch them.Also TV is real time broadcast, whereas iPlayer is a catch up service (that i rarely use) and DVD’s are cinema, NOT television.
