I suspect in the next two-three years, the BBC linear services will be cut back to something similar to 'rkolsen's post - basic PSB services, freely available to all:
BBC One
BBC Two
BBC News
BBC Parliament
CBeebies
Everything else will be available on iPlayer / Sounds. How that would be funded remains a bigger question of course. I suspect it could be a 'hybrid' model - a tax of some sort (addition to Council tax, separate new tax, something else) or a government levy of some kind for the PSB basics, and subscription for other things.
