With respect to delivery of content on Basic TV which is not by means of a closed system (i.e., coaxial cable networks, digital satellite networks or closed digital subscriber lines (ADSL), in each case within the private domain of a service provider) but rather by means of Internet transmission (e.g., Internet simulcast, Internet on-demand), such content shall be made available only on an authenticated basis (i.e., where access is pre- conditioned on a consumer’s existing, authenticated subscription to the linear, closed system Basic TV service). For clarity, Basic TV does not include any Subscription Pay TV, Free TV or SVOD.
