In South Africa, not paying R265 for a TV licence can land you 6 months in prison. In Namibia, they can fine you, jail you, and confiscate your television. The BBC sent officers to 2 million homes last year. 85% of South Africans stopped paying. SABC is technically insolvent after a R3.2 billion bailout. NBC Namibia has N$1.6 billion in accumulated losses. BBC lost £1.1 billion. The internet made information permissionless. Every institution built on the old model is collapsing.
