So you found a bunch ad-supported streaming services, cool. Does that come over your free internet? I personally don’t get free internet, and there are some that can’t afford that luxury. Many poor or older citizens don’t even own computers or smart phones. If your only income is Social Security, that OTA television signal may be their only source of news and entertainment. Rural areas are a different ballgame with its own challenges and costs.
