# It is true that World has finaly started making a profit
but it receives nothing from the license fee & the editorial control of the news operation is effectively under the same management as the rest of BBC news

# Hmm.
I think the BBC is a business, which ought to dare to make the license fee optional and spread its puny little commercial wings. There's no reason to suppose it would turn into another Sky as a result; there's no room in the market for a second Sky, and the BBC has already cornered the market for middle-class niceness and alleged integrity, so presumably it would stay there.
