Cool. So I can broadcast using H.264 as long as the bits are
delivered using the MPEG-2 Transport protocol?

No. Be careful of the protocol layers. You cannot invent a new TCP and
deploy it over the Internet, for example, without going through the
process. But yes, you can invent some new upper layer protocol, that
doesn't conflict, offer a service, and then go after standardization to
enable interoperability with other vendors.
Thank You!
But then, who really cares?
Just for grins, take a look at this informal voters poll conducted
by Broadcast Engineering:

The website was down when I wrote this, but I think the link is
still good.
So, 50 percent of those polled say they can see an end to OTA
broadcasting, and 50 percent say no or are unsure. So what?
Or do you believe that by incessant nay-saying, you might hasten the
demise?
I just found it interesting that 50% of the people who responded to
this poll think that their days are numbered...
