Very true, but the TV broadcast spectrum which Freeview relies on is only guaranteed to be available until the 2030s. This is a replacement just like digital was a replacement for analogue, but it's going to take a while to switch over (and there may be a skeleton broadcast service for a long time after, for emergencies or broadband blackspots)
