Who's Responsible

A Hypothetical question? If I do not have a TV or any means of recieving a TV signal and say for instance I watch something via iplayer, do I leagally require a TV licence? I think the answer to that is a big yes. Therefore the content provider is in effect charging me to watch the content. So it follows that the content provider is making money from my broadband use and therefore should pay towards the upgrade of the infrastructure and this should hold true for any content provider that makes money out of the system either from fees or advertising
Why should it always come down to the ISP's to pay to solve the problem.
A word of warning to those using these services, check your bandwidth limits and fair use policies of your ISP as these services as you can see use a lot of bandwidth and if you have capped limits it can soon bee used up.
