Ofcom find 5% of the UK population don’t have internet at home. Whole countries have television markets smaller than this.
So what? Public broadcasters have failed to support retaining a terrestrial TV service, and other commercial broadcasters such as Sky will not waste time with it either.

Some of the much smaller channels may wish to continue broadcasting, but they won’t capture much interest, and the cost of the infrastructure will mean the current system will be rendered unviable.

As I have said repeatedly, in the end, if the TV industry decides to go IPTV only, then IPTV it will be. Internet refuseniks will then have to reassess their view on this.
