Consumer Reports is running an article titled Free Over-the-Air TV Is Going to Get Better. They're rolling out a new standard, ATSC 3.0.
According to the article, you'll be able to watch OTA (over the air) TV on your phone or tablet! I wrote an article a few years back wondering why you couldn't already.
It's a fairly long and very informative article, but very much worth a read. It only talks about American broadcasts, no word about when or if it will reach other countries, but my guess is it won't be long.

Please let it be IPv6.
Never good to create new standards that rely on deprecated older ones.

Or UUCP. That one is really good because both of the U's stand for UNIX.

The MPAA won't allow that because the C stands for Copy.
