peer agreement (net): +2| GEZ, Rundfunkgebühren s.u. Explanation: Ah, lucky Klaus. You don’t have the TV licensing system in the US. The British equivalent to GEZ is TVLA http://www.gez.de/ http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/index.jsp -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2005-06-23 00:57:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, this crypto-fascist organisation decided only recently to shed the \'authority\' part of TVLA and become more \'customer friendly\' as TVL. Even though I am not a \'customer\' they keep sending me threatening letters. Fortunately we do not require a radio (or \'wireless\') licence any more in the UK. I believe the poor Germans still do. BTW Klaus. Does US English distinguish between the noun \'licence\' and the verb \'license\' as we do in BE? For more information on the fight to abolish this inequitable form of poll tax visit http://www.tvlicensing.biz -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2005-06-23 01:16:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah, just read Karin\'s posting. It seems we are required to make up a pompous title for GEZ. How about: \"(German) TV and Radio Licensing Authority\"? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2005-06-23 01:31:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PS At least this answer saves you from the perennial \'centre/center\' dilemma :-) |
