Wait, having to pay for a license to listen to radio? Where?

[detaro]

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Sweden, ... Even more countries have similar rules for TV. Generally to support public stations.

In Germany you used to have to pay the radio fee for owning a cell phone anyway. Recently they changed to a household model, now it doesn't matter whether you have a receiver or not.

In Sweden you only pay for TV ownership, not FM radio

Same in the UK....
