Also known as NextGen TV, the new broadcast standard promised to revolutionize free over-the-air TV with features like 4K HDR video, time-shifting, on-demand viewing, and interactive programming. For cord-cutters who get free local channels with an antenna, this was a genuinely exciting technology when it began rolling out way back in 2019.

As much of the world cautiously celebrates Wednesday’s announcement that Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire deal, humanitarians who spent the last two years fighting to get lifesaving assistance to Palestinians say they are on standby to immediately surge aid into the war-torn enclave and prevent further deaths.
