That's kind of the point, that linking it to the TV alone makes no sense in this era.

I find it hard to believe that anybody doesn't consume some BBC output or benefit from the BBC in some way, but some of my taxes pay for museums that I don't visit, schools that I don't necessarily benefit from as I don't have kids, grants to sports organisations etc.

Services provided by the State are funded through general taxation. You contribute regardless of whether or not you use them.

The BBC is quite specifically not a State provided service. It certainly has PSB commitments, but so do some others.

Does he have a radio Or internet?

He doesn't have a radio, and he pays an ISP for access to the internet.

Saying "You've got access to the internet, therefore you must pay for the BBC" really is a stretch too far. They won't get away with making it a household levy.
