As I said, Chris, that last paragraph was about the broadband rollout, which is the reference to 10 years. My other posts make this clear.

This is from a 2017 post on the Coming Soon thread, and there are plenty of other examples. You and others are constantly trying to corrupt what I have said, and time and again I've had to put you right. This is an example of such a corfection and there are many others.

Linear broadcasting might well be impacted in about 10 years, but I did not say they would be gone in 10 years. I stand by my original prediction of 20 years (now 18, I guess) which appears to be aligned with the BBC's thinking as communicated recently.
