I think that because of independence and stability BBC is a reliable source of information. It's independent from the government and have practically no competition.
2) Is there a role for the BBC in the 21st century digital world?
As I said before, BBC might be one of the most reliable sources in broadcasting TV in UK. It's also the biggest platform that is practically a seperate kind of media. It's role is mainly giving information.
3) Should the BBC funding model (license fee) change? How?
I don't think it should change in any way. A lot of people doesn't pay the license fee and once that do, they don't really pay that much for a year.
