At the time they calculated a ?50 fee would cover their costs, we are fortunate Ofcom said no, it would have been a total waste of money. Many countries have now scrapped annual licence fees, most recently in late-2018 members of the French parliament's upper house, the Senate, discovered that simply collecting the annual fee cost more than the fee itself - so they scrapped it. BTW the company RSGB set up many years ago to handle licensing work,?RSGB Licences Ltd, can be found on the UK Government's Companies House site at 73 Trevor M5AKA

Ok here¡¯s my opinion but please think before/instead of a knee jerk reply ... I think the licences could be administered by the RSGB on behalf of OFCOM for a fee of around ?25, an additional fee can then? be paid should you want RSGB membership, with a discount should you not require AdCom!
