Failed example. ATSC 3 is pretty well guaranteed to have pay options, 5-10 years down the road.
Maybe 6-7

I will remind you that there was subscription TV in the 80s, as well. The concept is not new. Success with it would be.

This time around, there’s more content to entice us with. Stuff that will not be available for free elsewhere, if they get their way.
One free channel on that frequency. More might be too much to expect.
They know we are used to paying for content. Might be easier than cable- just tune your TV to another channel

Keep in mind that pay services with ATSC3 will be hidden and not displayed on the normal receiver. This is different than the 1980s suppress pulse format that you saw on UHF Also broadcasters want to recover the cost for sports fees like they do with providers

I think they are after the conditional access in ATSC 3.0Do you doubt that stations will use the bandwidth for anyuthing other than cramming more channels into the same spectrum so that they can make more money? 8K! I seriously doubt that.
I don't.Do you think they'll even broadcast any channels in 4K, regardless of the capability??
If they just wanted a more efficient codec, they could have used MPEG4 H.264 which is supported in ATSC 1.0
The broadcasters are losing millions in retransmission fees from cable and dishes as people “cut the cord”. A conditional access system enables them to charge for the subchannels, thus replacing the lost retrans fees. All you will eventually have for free is one 480i stripped down channel that gives you news, weather and Jerry Springer.
I suspect some TVs will let you set up payments so that all you need to do is tune in the channel.
