Viewing of conventional scheduled TV is in steep decline and by 2035 this method of viewing will no longer be possible because IPTV will have taken over and the powers that be will not consider it appropriate to put resources into a declining service.

You quite clearly have not read the link. Unsurprising, as your ignorance of objective reality, can only be achieved by doing so.
