That isn't the future, it's a projection of your blinkered view.
You have just proved my point. Clearly, you and others cannot understand that my prediction as to what will happen is simply what I think will happen. I have acknowledged on a number of occasions that I could be wrong.

It is also true to say that I haven’t deviated much from how I see IPTV playing out, and I haven’t deviated much from that view, but I have never said that my prediction will come about no matter what.

It appears that the main thrust of Ofcom’s view will be that PSBs must ‘innovate in content delivery, ensuring that they remain competitive and relevant. This involves embracing new technologies and platforms to reach audiences effectively.’

This does not necessarily mean that the government will require PSB channels to remain open, although of course, it’s possible that they might. But it’s not what the TV industry wants to see. They want just one means of transmission over the internet and ease of loading content.

So it’s an open question as to the eventual outcome, but I’ve told you what I think.

Is this clear enough for you?
