I continue to dismiss the idea that the number of television channels reduces to zero, quickly, because it’s a ridiculous assertion. It’s down there with a human being achieving flight by flapping his or her arms.

Old Boy himself, on the V6 thread, broadly accepts broadband infrastructure off the Virgin network to be inadequate to support an entirely streaming situation.




I agree that the broadband infrastructure in the UK is inadequate but I don't see that as supporting your argument. The whole country should have fast broadband speeds in a few years. As I've said previously, the BBC is planning for a non-linear scheduled TV environment after the next licence fee review.

But I expect you know better than them. They really should have consulted you in the first place.
