I find some of the info in the report into the transition to IP based delivery in error. Specifically one point where it believes 5% will not be broadband connected, which specifically means that 5% will not have ANY telephony services or any tele-health support due to the end of POTS in 2027. I do not believe this will be the case. More is of issue in the report but I believe that will come out of wash in due course as the actual speed of change is compared to the forecast.
A lot of benefit to all would be had by having a better holistic view and identifying the benefits of accelerating the transition rather than resisting what is a consumer driven change.
Superb post Nigel! Totally agree, the future of TV is, as you say, "internet-based, on-demand, and cross-device". I wonder about the future of live mixed-genre linear channels. Also the extent to which the UK public service broadcasters will try to hold onto their own TV apps as the primary way of finding their programmes, or whether they'll agree to a single federated app supporting all business models (licence fee, subscription, advertising) with a single sign-in, which could be viewed on any streaming device.
