It’s hardly arguing for the sake of argument. Old Boy has, once again, made a material change to his ongoing argument

This post, and those around it, he was clearly talking about television working to a schedule. Not digital terrestrial/cable or satellite.

So i don't think OBs theories are as wild as some think.
What i think will happen is we will see linear tv delivered more and more via our broadband using multicast.
The reality is technology is moving very fast, in 1998 we only had wap now we have 5G that's quite a huge jump in 20 years so i wouldn't pah pah OBs theories.
If he’s making the case that linear TV will exist but not over Digital Terrestrial then fair enough, it’s not that bold an argument as cable/satellite and IPTV are superior technologies in any case.

Is the DTT space even desirable for 5G? I thought much higher frequencies were being utilised to deliver the required bandwidth.
