I doubt that will happen. My sense is that Congress thinks an FTA
TV system is necessary, and are linking OTA with FTA. But it's
certainly possible that a subscription tier will emerge in many or
most markets. Whether it will survive is another matter.
I can't forget what happened to other examples of subscription OTA
services. And in Europe, where such services might have had a
better chance of success.
We shall see.
