I believe the cost figure is what the Treasury is paying TV Licensing based 
on the invoices received from TVL. Much the same as bus companies invoice 
for free travel for oldies. Furthermore, I'm sure there is a lot of abuse 
of the system where one member of an over 75 couple will allow a 
friend/relative to use their "right" to a free license.

Rather than promote conspiracy theories about non doms and media owners. 
direct your ire at the one eyed Scotch loon and his party who bribed 
electors with taxpayers' money.
