Aha! but he didn't get the confirmation he seeks (but denies seeking) from that. So he filtered the whole thing out of his analysis (whilst simultaneously claiming not to do that). A good demonstration really of how he actually analyses possible future outcomes. Useful to compare this with what he claims to be doing.

What we have here is two completely different systems.
I know you have filtered out the fact that Freely, the IP version of Freeview, delivers DVB channels over IP along with the same apps currently available on Freeview (iplayer, itvx etc). It doesn't fit in with your personal view of what could happen, which you refer to as the "facts". So, well, they aren't really completely different systems are they?
You also filtered out the other multi-platform broadcasts mentioned. You know, the FM / DAB duplication. If it helps you to process this, I know you have difficulty with over the air systems, you can also consider the other platforms simulcasting these services. BBC Sounds, Global Player, Rayo, Nation Player etc and also the raw streaming available on web browsers and wi-fi radios. Multiple simulcasts, yet no call to switch off the expensive single service FM transmitters. And no demands that the government compensate them for, you know, providing their service to their listeners.

Oh don't go there, they don't fit into his theory so are just considered to be a momentary blip and will die out completely to bring about his on demand / streaming dream.
