1) Interactive services. Nobody wants to interact with their TV.
I agree with all your points, and also Mike's point about mobility being
handled by 4G or 5G, but on this interactivity, I'd say it matters for
on-demand access to work. Not interactivity with the program content per se,
nor the ads either, btw.
And people do want on demand access to TV. On demand viewing is one of the
features supposedly supported by ATSC 3.0, but again, *not* over the public
airwaves. That aspect of ATSC 3.0 only gets mentioned as a goal. I have to
believe the intention is to make the innocent believe that it's all supported
by the detailed specs we've seen, but it ain't. This on demand has nothing to
do with the OTA broadcast standard we've seen, with OFDM, or any of the rest of
it.
