What's going to happen if suddenly everyone goes over to Freely instead of their aerial (as our government seem to want)? Where's the Internet bandwidth coming from?

I've had a similar experience today. I was in a pub with several screens about the place, and got interested in the show jumping coverage on TNT (I presume carried by Sky). It was just coming up to the jump-off (where it gets exciting) and the channel got changed! Some prat in another bar not...
