I’ve been reading licence fee abolition stories since I was in nappies, OB. There’s nothing substantially changed.
And regardless - even if I accepted the premise which I don’t - I still think a commercial player would jump at being in a position to be there when someone presses “1” on their TV.

I have not been ‘proven wrong’, jfman. We are nowhere near 2035 yet but I recognise that time is a concept that you have difficulty grasping.
I don’t see the point in your reference to a ‘commercial player’. If the government decides to use the existing TV bandwidth for something else, there won’t be such a choice.

The bit in bold is demonstrably untrue by virtue of how frequently you wish to reduce consumer choice, not increase it.

I have not denied that internet outages occur. Pretty infrequently in my experience. As I said, power outages occur too.
The bit in bold is, in fact, true, whether you care to believe it or not. It’s a prediction, not a desire on my part.

That post reflects the tone of a lot of your posts - all or nothing, sweeping statements/opinions posted as facts, and no/little supporting evidence, often distorting/misrepresenting things - are you Nadine Dorries?

It’s just my prediction, Hugh. Other views are available.
