Yes that has always been the case with film on ntsc.

Don't think of 30fps though, it's 60, by which I mean 3/2 pull down 
historically worked on interlaced displays so 60 (/1.001) fields/sec.

When you convert to 24 and display on a progressive 60Hz screen you end 
up with exactly the same - not better, not worse, than it has always 
been for viewing film in an ntsc country.

Yes some modern TVs do 24.
