Over here in Germany, they found a better solution: if you have a compuer and
an Internet connection, you technically have a TV set. Since everyone has
this, every household has to pay up (yes, they relaxed things to per-household,
except for commercial entities, where it gets complicated).

To me, it's just a thinly veiled way of moving things to a flat-tax scheme,
for the benefit of the rich (yes, I know about the official rationale)
