The FCC wants cable to drop analog

"In a nutshell, VZ made a deal with the FCC. They agreed to give away free STBs to customers in exchange for the FCC granting them permission to stop sending analog/unencrypted video to their customers."

Completely wrong. The deal is that in exchange for dropping analog Verizon gets a price break on set top boxes (they aren't required to buy ones that support CableCard).

The FCC wants cable to drop analog by 2/2009. Don't ask me why, but they do.
