Kas raadio- ja televisioonitasud tuleks kaotada?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This initiative proposed abolishing compulsory radio and television fees. It would also prohibit national subsidies for broadcasters, require broadcasting licences to be auctioned regularly and prevent the government from operating its own radio or television stations in peacetime. Supporters argued that people should not be forced to pay for services they did not use and that broadcasters should compete in a free market. Opponents warned that public-service broadcasting, regional coverage and programmes for minority-language communities could be severely reduced. Swiss voters rejected the initiative.
