But the other channels are not, they make their money from advertising revenue and selling their programs to other networks around the world (the BBC also do this). However, when they import TV from other countries (US sitcoms for example) they have a license to show that program to the UK on their network. This license would not normally include people from Holland (for example) watching the program online.This is something the entire TV industry will need to get to grips with in the next few years as TVoIP, both legal and otherwise starts to gain momentum.</blockquote>
