Firstly the results of the ECB tender will be out this week, tomorrow is the deadline for bids. Results could be out the same day or by the end of the week if there is a second round.

Secondly the deadline for the EFL to go out to tender passed last week. Not sure if that was for invitations to tender or actual submissions.

In any case the next week is a massive one for SKY and BT or maybe someone else??
These 2 and no one else.

Apparently the ECB are concerned about the popularity of the game so we might just see a little more cricket on the terrestrial channels perhaps.

One of the packages is for FTA matches from the new 20/20 city competition plus some international 20/20 both mens and womens, so there will definitely be some cricket on terrestrial.

They aren't and at the moment parent company Al Jazeera is struggling to remain broadcasting in the Middle East thanks to the actions of countries like Saudi Arabia against Qatar.

To be fair, aside from the fact that's how most sport is going nowadays, the new team at ECB seem to be addressing this with the new T20 league and the FTA packs up for tender, although I'd like to see some test cricket in there as well but guess that's not attractive for their schedules.
