But once again, those are just the confused words that came out during the 
initial days of DTV design.

What the telcos provide, in this scenario, is a two-way path. The two-way path 
is as isolated from the one-way broadcast as a telephone call is from the radio 
transmission, during a radio call-in show. The two-way path from the telcos 
will provide all of the VOD.

Since people have come to want a LOT of choice, at best the TV broadcast will 
provide some of the live streams, as it does now, for which you certainly don't 
need LTE.
