To restore public media missionary Ministry of Culture wants to replace almost irrecoverable audiovisual subscription fee. Laudable goal, but shrapnel struck by are the ones who do not watch or listen to TVP Polish Radio – holders of computers, tablets and smartphones. Since the beginning of 2015 years everyone will have to pay up to 20 per month, while watching series and listen to music online.
Soon, the public media will have to pay even those who do not use them. Holders of smartphones, tablets and computers. • Fig. IntelFreePress / bit.ly/17S4xZx / Lic. CC BY SA 2.0 / bit.ly/2oQJN
Public radio and television invariably struggling with financial problems, so desperately looking for a way to replace the radio and television subscription. Today it pays only every tenth household, so I invented a much more effective way to improve his public media budget – audiovisual fee. It will most likely added to the electricity bill, and it really is another tax.
However, not only the owners of television and radio will have to reach deeper into your pocket. This fee is charged to all the owners of smartphones and tablets that do not have a TV and do not listen to public radio. Why? Because according to the Ministry of Culture on mobile devices also can receive the content of public service broadcasting, so the owners also must pay. “It” is a key word in this case, because of the interpretation of the Ministry Bogdan Zdrojewski will not pay for the enjoyment of the public media, but for such a possibility.
In my opinion, the best way to do this would be to eliminate subscription fees and the introduction of universal audiovisual and binding waiver of fees for owning a radio or television, because it is a complete anachronism, as the need for their registration. Audiovisual fee should result from a specific service which is widely available on the market, also thanks to the new, mobile media, such as smart phones or computers. READ MORE
Therefore, the public mission and will have to drop to all. – At the moment there is not really comment on what, because the ministry had not sent us another bill nor any assumptions – says Iwona ?ledzi?ska-Katarasi?ska from OP, President of the Parliamentary Committee on Culture and Media.
– If you believe that the charge is a common audiovisual tax and it is clear that the current model can not maintain, it seems clear to me that any such payment will bear. Even those who receive public media through mobile phones, tablets and computers – he added.
According to GUS, 97.9% of Polish households have at least one television. Meanwhile, for the reception of radio and television programs are used today not only traditional receivers, but also computers, tablets and mobile phones. Nearly all of the households have therefore at least one device for receiving television and radio broadcasts (TV, radio, smartphone, tablet, computer). Without a doubt, these devices can also be used for public television reception, which also makes its broadcasts on the Internet. TVP for example, allows you to watch steamingu and TVP TVP INFO PARLIAMENT.
We do not know how deep into our pockets wants to reach the minister of culture. Today’s TV subscription is 18,65 z?, and for radio 5,65 z? per month. According to the ministry plans new fee is expected to raise about 10 z?, and certainly not more than 15 z?. However, Juliusz Braun, president of the Polish Television, says a much higher level. – The legi slature voting, whether it is 10 z?, 11, 15 or, as in the Czech Republic 25 z?, decide whether you want to have over twenty years Prime Television Theatre or maybe fifty – Juliusz Braun said in an interview with Virtual Polish.
His opinion a higher level of missionary can be made only at a fee of 20 z?. And this is just more of the mission is the reason for a change in the financing of public service broadcasting. With lower fees can not lead to a significant reduction in the number of ads.
This is actually not the only burden to be imposed on mobile devices. Organizations representing artists also want to snatch a share of that market. – It is expected that the most popular products from Apple and Samsung will become more expensive by 100 z? – warns Michael Kanownik, head of the Association of Importers and Manufacturers of Electronic Equipment. – The crisis is not a good time to increase the burden that will be passed on to consumers . After all, these devices are mainly used for work, sending email, and listening to music or watching movies is only a small part of what we do with them – he notes. That’s why the charge should be calculated not on th e total price of the device , but only for the part. – It’s like a punishment for the fact that you can or will be able to do something on your device. But this does not mean at all that it does – compared Kanownik. – According to the reports we are on one of the last places in terms of access to mobile devices. Why do we even worsen the situation? – Asks. He adds that today organizations such as ZAiKS or Kopipol literally lying on the money, because only a small part of the funds actually goes to artists and authors of books. Of course, the higher the income, the greater the responsibility incumbent on Television. The question is whether it will be able to meet this challenge. Because it does not run out of money. Already all of us to take care of it …see also:
