Given that the broadcast model for streaming content is so successful, why would you want to use the Internet for it?
We now have to pay for spectrum, when you have to pay you look for the cheapest delivery path. Until we switch off analogue there is a shortage of spectrum so we have limited channels and no room for much HD All spectrum is for sale so someone can come in and buy it out from underneath existing uses. Hence spectrum freed by analogue switch off is less likely to be available for TV. As price is determined by the highest bidder you can be priced out of carrying on doing what was fine before. People have content they want to deliver where the business model requires cheaper delivery than traditional broadcast TV brandon
