Future?
What about proper HD 1920 x 1080 on all channels rather than 544 x 576 and 1440 x 1080?
What about if real 3D is invented rather than fake Sterescopic?
What about Portable or Transportable TV?
IPTV only works for more than about 1% of viewers if it's Broadcast anyway... It's complementary to DTT, never a replacement. Mobile Phone IPTV is a complete non-starter unless it's Broadcast in disguise (which would likely be paytv only).
This is a stupid money grab by regulator. Also will not have decent mast density and coverage. Smaller cells (= More capacity) with x5 as many masts for 900MHz and above is a FAR better Mobile Solution.
Development of TV crippled.
The "Digital Dividend"? = Money for Regulator and lower costs for Mobile Operators with no significant increase in Rural coverage or performance. Nothing else for public.
What if TV channels started producing decent content?
Mobile is getting priority purely due to "captured" Regulator and periodic Licence fee cash boosts to Treasury (which comes from Mobile customers).
There should be a single Wholesale infrastructure with free licence and money to Treasury from the VAT etc of the Services.
