You mean uncompressed data. Yes, analogue is uncompressed, but digital could also be uncompressed. However, everyone wants to stuff more video, more audio over the link, so we compress... Bandwidth goes up, latency also goes up, and things get more complicated...

Analogue video signals are absolutely compressed (interlacing, PAL, NTSC, SECAM). It's just not as efficient as MPEG-X combined with hyper-aggressive modulation schemes and forward-error correction, channel-capacity wise.
