TV Licensing is a private company which pays the BBC a fixed fee and in return given the right to monitor and collect TV license fees.
The fee was introduced to finance the BBC, first as a radio license, in the days when few people had a radio and the BBC began broadcasting. It was extended to the TV for the same reason - expensive service, few recipients.
Americans get all excited about it because it is charged seperately and called a license. PBS and NPR is just paid by everybody through taxes. In a country where some states require a license to cut hair or do interior decorating.
