Sorry I have been 'delinquent'. I/we have been very busy between technical/political/regulatory activity. Sucks (I could stop there...) up too much time! The proposal that gets submitted end of this month will be concise and clear. Two of the most important elements? "Parameterized Waveforms" and "BMX". Maybe I/we (SBG) are not alone? (do we really need to choose to do one waveform?!) Read the just released September BroadcastEngineering article ("A next-generation broadcast platform") starting on page 26 (Brett Jenkins/LIN). More later...keep the engine spinning!

Reading between the lines, it sounds like a broadcaster could continue to use the current ATSC standard, the new ATSC 3.0 standard, and possibly some form of LTE broadcast. As we do not know what ATSC 3.0 will be, it sounds like the Broadcast Market Exchange provides the glue to use multiple broadcast or two-way infrastructures, including those yet to be implemented. This sounds much like the kind of extensibility I have advocated for years. But it is far from clear how this would work. Perhaps Mark can provide us with a little background, or point us to a resource where we can learn more.
