RE: UKNM: Subscriptions

[Bunder, Leslie]

Why watch the TV? well (apart from Sky and the horrible out-of-date

annual licence fee!) there are no online charges.  I can watch TV for

several hours a day/week/month and it doesn't rack up a huge phone bill

in the process!


So TV doesn't involve any on-going costs as such!
