Oh, you don't have to pay an additional fee for a phone license? I heard that in the UK, you have to pay for a TV license in addition to buying your TV, and paying taxes that go to programming, so I thought maybe it applied to other electronics as well. I also heard that if you don't buy a license then goons will come to your house to harass you.

No. The TV licence is to fund the BBC, so if you use it as a monitor, noone gives a shit. You can straight up watch TV all you want too, so long as you don't watch BBC channels, though that's more or less impossible given how most modern TVs work.

How would they know, though? Don't they just send people to houses that are in the database as having purchased a TV but not in the database as having purchased a license?
