Do you think that people ‘deserve’ free television (i.e. the content, e.g. shows, movies, etc.)? Do you think that ideally it would be publicly financed, e.g. via government taxation?
Personally – and, I think, charitably – all of this looks like a lot of different entities trying to solve an extremely complex set of economic problems, i.e. funding (and ideally profiting-from) the production of ‘television’ content. And I suspect a lot of the particular features, both now and in the recent path, are due to path dependence, e.g. because of the initial medium (radio) by which this kind of content was distributed.
This is a strange discussion – to me!
