The interesting thing is that the foundation of the TV system is built on the increasingly obsolete concept of broadcast TV. If you could get rid of that, and force all content providers to compete evenly via the internet, we'd have much more interesting environment. You'd free up the airwaves for more valuable use, you wouldn't need the FCC regulating content, and you'd break up the abc/cbs/nbc/fox semi-monopoly must carry position.
Think how wasteful it is to use all that television frequency bandwidth largely to transmit tv signals from networks to cable companies. According to NAB, only 17.8% of US homes rely only on OTA.
