With the world cup approaching with many looking to watch using the BBCs broadband coverage, there could be a small problem.

Those who watch it without a valid TV licence could end up having to cough up a fine of up to £1,000 plus court costs. While this may not be a problem to those who decide to stream the matches at home, but for businesses it could cause a problem, as many do not have a TV licence.

It seems that beeb maybe trying to earn some extra revenue as Roger Mosey, the  BBC Director of Sport, stated on the broadband launch "We know a lot of online viewing is done in the office, so we suspect this will allow people both to do their job and to keep up with the very latest action from Germany."

So unless you want your boss to get a fine, then you better ask him to get a TV licence so you can watch it while you are at work........
