Isn't the TV licence so that you don't have as many ad breaks as our TVs do? At least, that's how I've understood it.

How can they enforce it. Like maybe you dont own a tv. How do they know what you have plugged in or what you use your wifi on?

Is this something that you have to pay every year, like an annual tax?

America says the airwaves are free. Britain does not have the right to text something that is in the air.

I’m not sure if what you are calling a TV license is the same thing as what we call cable. Cable TV is all of the channels on TV. Any of the streaming services you pay for separately but if you want to watch television television, you need to pay for cable. If that is the same thing as what you are calling a TV license then it doesn’t seem like an unusual thing.

So I don't understand, that's like us paying for local cable. Why do you just buy streaming services like Netflix, Hulu? and not local TV, what are they going to do take your TV away?
