Council of State sees RAI fee problems

(ANSA) - Rome, April 14 - Italy's highest administrative court on Wednesday objected to some aspects of a new measure to include RAI license fees in electricity bills.
    The Council of State said the new norms fail to define "television set" given the many devices now on the market, such as smartphones and tablets that can also receive TV programs. The regulations should specifically say only residents with TV sets "capable of receiving digital terrestrial or satellite broadcasts, whether directly or via a decoder".
    The court added that the new norms are written in "technical formulas that are difficult to understand" for those who are not sector professionals.
