Some US services, such as Hulu Plus and CBS All Access are subscription and also have adds.

There will be less reliance on advertising (unless they find other methods of bombarding us).
They will all have to be ad funded, subscription funded or pay per view, or a combination of these. But in the scenario I've painted, we won't have the BBC licence fee. I know that many will gasp at the prospect of the TV licence days going, but the Government is already looking at this.
The money saved can be put towards the new services.
