At the moment… the BBC is the only broadcaster to have its own CDN “bidi”
(as well as using the main commercial ones) it does seem to have acted on this more than most …
unlike the broadcasters who are domestic ISPs …..

UK has the ability for about the same number people to connect to broadband of greater than 30 Mbit/sec than get through the air reception ….
But I doubt if the ISPs have enough capacity everywhere for everyone to be steaming live.

Most issues seem to be inadequate or not rapid enough provisioning, and not being resilient enough against one CDN having problems,.,..
