I think a lot depends on what the government dictates. I think that without that interference the big channels will become on demand and the only linear channels will be the new FAST channels.
That’s not to say we won’t have live TV, it’s just that it will be streamed. Just like the PPV boxing, for example.

You do, but in future it could be used for social broadband instead for those who cannot afford or choose not to have higher speeds.
The Beeb is likely to be funded by a combination of subscriptions and advertising, although, again, the government could choose the copout route and fund it from general taxation.
