They're trying to find new funding streams.
The government keeps refusing their requests for TV license boosts and
they're constantly under threat from having the license revoked.
Besides, why shouldn't they insert adverts into their websites when accessed
from abroad?
They don't pay the license fee, so make them pay with irritating adverts
instead... That'll learn 'em.
