During the recent SMPTE convention in Hollywood I fired up my OTA tuner
in the hotel room.  To my great surprise, I found 104 program streams
from 26 "channels."  Obviously I didn't have the time to see what they
all were broadcasting, but I suspect a lot of it is very niche.  

Could they all be in cahoots?  I doubt it.

I did not miss your point. OTA is what it is, and to say it is unwalled
is a gross misrepresentation. The multiple providers are just another
face of the media oligopoly, with a bunch of local affiliates who are
being marginalized out of existence. It remains to be seen whether the
Internet will be dominated by walled gardens, or if instead there are a
number of marketplaces that are open to anyone.
