The important thing that we all seen to forget is that any form of broadcasting - in its widest sense - has to be delivered by one of two routes.<BR>
Either by a solid copper connection such as a telephone line for a static consumer or by RF transmission if the consumer is likely to be on the move - or simply does not have landline access.<BR>Doing it directly by a broadcaster-owned transmitter and a personal radio/video receiver is the traditional and simplest route.<BR>
Whether it's analogue and instant or digital with a delay and lower spectral occupancy is a matter of choice.<BR>
Any other route still requires RF radiation and reception, but also the potential difficulty of going through other peoples' systems that the broadcaster doesn't control.<BR>
Internet is very attractive, yes, but it still has to be delivered by radio if you're not sitting at your PC.<BR>
