What do people make of this:

Seems like a good idea to me. I'd like some money to go to BBC and some to the ISPs who are transporting the data.
I'd pay up to a pound per show... something like 50p for a half hour thing (Mock the week, Have I Got News For You, University Challenge...) and £1 for one hour things like Top Gear and documentaries.
I would want a back catalogue of a year though, and I'd want to be able to keep downloaded/bought stuff forever if I choose though. It would be paying for the ability to download, keep, choose from a back catalogue rather than the actual programmes.
I see this as a gradual move away from the licence fee - some people keep paying the fee, others opt out and only download content, for which they pay with micropayments per download.
