True enough, though I'm sure they have their separate cable bill to get to
their financed BBC and other channels. Too, I imagine on a per capita basis
(i.e. if their were only 60M of us, it'd probably $200 a head as well), we
pay a similar amount indirectly via the grants given to PBS by the
government.
