If the BBC were to go fully internet based, there would still need to be a way to not only fund the BBC and all the other broadcasters moving to fully online digital, but also to help support the growing infrastructure of the internet and to keep viewers watching their stations. I'd imagine by this point, the internet wouldn't become a luxury for paying customers, but more so a tax to help sustain it.

Course, that sounds silly in retrospect but we can't rule out the possibility that the internet would become more easier to access. Though it wouldn't surprise me if the broadband providers make an "Internet-lite", meaning you can only access certain sites, such as BBC, ITV, etc. unless you pay for unlimited/basic broadband packages.
