Yup. Euroland is looking to start charging TV Licence Fees to cell ohone owners.

Responding to a query from a concerned citizen, the agency said it would not rule out obliging cell phone users to pay a TV licence fee if public service television providers make all their programmes available for mobile phone viewing.
