It was correct, but your fees are for 2012.

And its certainly not payable thru the electric bill.

This is what I read in the Polish press. How will the licence in Germany be payable then?

The same way it used to be, like any other reoccurring bill.
Most people go for direct debit or standing order.

Whats changing from 2013 on is that everybody has to pay.

How will the licence in Germany be payable then?

The same way it used to be, like any other reoccurring bill.

Then I can't see where the change really is. If the licence is paid the same way it used to be, how will they make everybody pay it now?

Until now they had to prove that you own a device that is capable of receiving their ****** programs.
From 2013 on its the other way round, you have to prove that you dont own any devices.

I wonder how it will work in practice. Suppose my wife pays the licence, but I don't since I watch TV on the same telly for which she has already paid the licence. Should I pay another licence or should she go and tell them that we share the same telly. The easiest way to collect a TV licence from each houshold is doing it through electricity bills. Maybe a houshold can then claim they do not have any device capable of receiving TV, but still electricity bills are extremely likely to be employed for doing the task.

Thats prolly the easiest way, but nevertheless not the way they are doing it.
