I am well aware of Ofcom’s reference to ‘possible solutions’. They’ve been wrong before. Remember their rubbishing of Project Kangaroo?
I’m concentrating on what the broadcasting industry is doing and the fact the continuing to run two systems is unnecessarily costly for them.
Your constant demeaning of things people write which you don’t agree with does not enhance your reputation, Chris. You have failed to address the points I have made in that post.This was a discussion forum last time I looked, but it seems that anyone who disagrees with your perspective is an idiot according to you.

The conclusion you came to (highlighted in bold) does not really add up, Richard. You asked ‘why were they going to move over to streaming their content’, to which they replied ‘it’s pointless broadcasting in a format that nobody is using.’
So given that they are moving to streaming, how does that fit with the rest of the statement, which indicates that they don’t envisage people sticking with DTT in sufficient numbers, and your conclusion that this means they will carry on with traditional methods for as long as possible?

Until it's no longer cost effective, if possible,the broadcasters will want to continue using the cheapest form of emission to reach a mass audience as opposed to doing it online.
Once enough have moved over to getting their TV online, it means that the BBC will have no choice but to close their legacy system and use the more expensive online solution.
