Note that DVB-T2 is a terrestrial broadcast standard (albeit not used in the US) and terrestrial broadcast is free/low cost in most places, hence US-focused articles about people dropping cable because of high monthly costs has little effect on the success of DVB-T2.
When it does come to pay TV, note that pay TV is still growing in Western Europe, mostly in places where they've historically had very little marketshare (v. terrestrial broadcasting).
- shmerl 9y agoSure, broadcasting is still part of the legacy TV, but as the rest, its decline depends on the growth of good quality Internet availability. In the long term it will be gone, and radio will be used for Internet itself. Clearing of spectrum for that purpose is already gradually happening and other radio based Internet access types are coming as well (low orbit satellites and etc.).
