I have no doubt that BBC1,2 and 4 and the news and children's channels will continue to be free.

However, I do think it likely that the successor to 'Project Kangeroo' will be available both by subscription and free with commercials. How else would this new streaming service make money for ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5?
