How does a dozen or so local analogs subject to dual must-carry put them at a "severe competitive disadvantage"?
A dozen analog channels converts into enough spectrum for about 70 to 100 SD digital channels or about 36 HD digital channels. Yes, it is a competitive disadvantage.

Not to mention that they would have to maintain equipment, customer support, and technical expertise for analog service while their competitors wouldn't.

Let's not for their their most obvious competitive advantage. They CURRENTLY HAVE the customers. In order for the telcos to get customers they have to convince people to do the work of switching which people are reluctant to do. Cable will eventually lose some customers to telcos just as they lost customers to DBS but they'll continue to get POTS customers.
