In Sweden we have a system very similar to that in Finland. The idea of  
moving to a tax-based system has been discussed (and so far rejected) many  
times. It is an ideological issue; the media is supposed to be independent  
 from the state.

The latest thing they (i.e. the ones collecting the fees) are trying to  
push through here is that they want people to have to pay the fee for  
computers as well as TVs, as shows are increasingly being offered online.
