This takes things into very muddy waters. You have to have a TV license if you use equipment *capable* of receiving television broadcasts, even if you don't use such broadcasts, eg a set exclusively used for watching material from a DVD player still has to be covered by a licence.
So by extension if I have a computer that is connected to the internet it is *capable* of receiving the streaming World Cup feed, so could be considered liable to the licence fee even if I don't watch the streaming feed?
But the licence fee *is* about radio frequencies, your licence is issued under the Wireless Telegraphy Act.

The BBC is about providing content to licence fee payers - not about providing radio frequencies...
