like iv said for a long time, they should also take a slice of the released spectrum and setup perhaps an NGO/NFP company to administer a new country wide broadband Wireless/WiMax Mesh network as a 'return path' that your new [HD]PBS DVB-T[2] and DVB-H[2] could then use to do away totally with needing to pay any 3rd party for a 'return path' for any new IPTV services that the future PSB's might use.

HD TV is fine, but dont forget about the many low income people (and others)that will never buy into the pay-for TV and internet.

they to might pay into a pay-as-you-go or micro-payment card that you can annon charge up at any 'pay-point' outlet with say Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5 a week for the odd cheap film or TV series Near VOD or multicast that could also use the new publicly owned and run backbone to operate on and innovate for the UK's future exports.
