I don't have a TV license, nor do I own a TV or have a TV card/dongle for my PC.

The BBC are threatening me for not paying their tax simply because I have an internet connection, regardless of whether I actually visit the BBC streaming web sites (now it seems like ITV and CH4 could go the same way).

With the introduction of these dongle tuners, I can foresee them further amending their exemption clause such that they can be allowed to tax PC owners (laptop or otherwise), regardless of whether they have internet access, simply because they could own a TV tuner dongle.

Make no mistake, they are already attempting to force us all into a position where it is impossible to not have to pay their fee/tax ('no subscription fee for Freeview' - makes me laugh); no doubt they will take this chance to further extend their anti-competitive behaviour!
