I suspect the Freeview Lite muxes may take slightly longer to switch off - or at least one PSB mux might be around for longer.
Otherwise though, I imagine the government will consider the broadband USO (Universal Service Obligation) as perfectly adequate to enable (at least in theory) every household to receive IPTV. The number of households which can receive at least one of FTTP, FTTC and/or VM HFC cable is already very high. 4G or 5G coverage may also help, and there is a further push to roll that out to rural areas too (mainly for emergency use, but it would allow TV too).
