Over one million NHK subscribers refuse to pay fees:
(05 August 05)

More than one million subscribers to Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, have 
refused to pay their monthly fees this year, The Asahi Shimbun has reported.
NHK had announced that there were 1.171 million non-paying subscribers as 
of the end of July.
The number of subscribers refusing to pay fees had steadily increased from 
397,000 at the end of January to 970,000 at the end of May.
NHK officials said if the 1.171 million subscribers do not renew their 
contracts and begin paying the fees, the annual budget for the broadcaster 
would suffer a shortfall of between US$53.9 million (six billion yen) to 
US$89.8 million (10 billion yen). (ABU Website)
