Re: Add affirmative action to the bidding
said by Sammer  :The dirty little secret is that they hope everyone moves to cable or satellite and free TV dies. Yes, it would be to Cable's (and satellite/FiOS/UVerse's) advantage if the new, competing free digital TV service didn't work so well. After all, that's how they built their business way back when, competing with crappy over-the-air analog signals.
And all the communication companies would LOVE to see all that gigantic, medium range VHF & UHF bandwidth relicensed to subscription services whether they are TV, phone, net or whatever.
Right now, thanks to some effort in putting up and aiming antennas, I have free digital TV with NO stream errors. I'm certain that will change if other devices using the band become common.
And no I don't work for a broadcaster, I'm just enjoying not having to pay the monopolistic, customer-hating cable company.
