The decision to do this earlier puts them in a better competitive position. They utilize the bandwidth reclaimed for more channels, better HD - whatever and they allow their customers to continue to receive channels by handing out the boxes.
Fantastic first post. This article makes it sound as if Verizon is doing some noble deed ahead of schedule. With DirecTV ushering in a new era of HD channel quantities, the simple fact is that cable (and FIOS, which at the moment, is running cable's set top technolgies, along with their spectral limitations) sorely needs that analog spectrum to offer something comparable. For each analog channel they can get 2, sometimes 3 HD channels.

I would not be surprised to see cable companies dump all but the most basic lineup of analog channels very soon. They've pretty much been trying to get people to migrate to digital anyway. Its much easier to upsell services once the box is in the home.
