Could it be that in the future, the "poor" may be lumbered with the "mainstream" channels "enjoying" a diet of soap, reality and celebrity chefs while the rich can afford to go online and stream high quality dramas like The Crown?
Not great if you're in the poor camp...

I do understand that, and it is of concern. However, I believe that in the future, most households will have access to good broadband speeds, just as most now have a telephone. I think it is also likely that many, if not all, OTT services will have a non subscription option with commercials for those who cannot or will not pay.
