BBC: Let me give you money.
I listen to BBC radio all day. It skews me, as I end up knowing about the traffic issues in Guildford but have no idea that 101 is mucked up.
I love that I am able to keep up with radio via the internet, but my blood boils whenever I login to hear:
We are sorry but we are unable to broadcast this as you don’t live in England mate and we don’t have the rights
Or, something like that.
If I was naughty, I could try to get a friend to open up an ssh connection over the pond and try to tunnel through to trick the system, but I would rather be good. I with that I could pay, and see if enough people would feel the same, and then the BBC could get the rights for online broadcasting. Please.
I would also love to pay for BBC TV shows. Let us do micropayments and subscriptions so you can choose exacly what content you want (instead of hundreds of crap cable channels). This will also have the great effect of putting evolution into the system, and we would see survival of the fittest. Only content that people want will be shown.
Erm, wait, but that scares me too. What if the populous wants crap? Oh no.
