Re: Perfect Example of Government Intervention... unfortunately it's not that simple. First of all, the government owns and manages the spectrum. So, if, as in this case, the government wants to better manage our frequencies by forcing broadcasts from analog to digital, and to a smaller broadcast spectrum, then that is the government's job to work out.
In this case, the government wants to open up spectrum to sell. The cost of implementation is expected to be less than the profits from selling the unused broadcast bandwidth.
