Re: Just another potential "pipe"

So you want to replace a broadcast system that has worked for years with a walled garden narrowcast system controlled by the likes of Microsoft. BTW Vista wouldn't be such a piece of crap if they hadn't thrown all the "trusted computing" junk in it in an attempt to lock up PCs and content.

When it comes to broadcast TV, I "want" nothing--I'm not a TV watcher (whether broadcast or not); and I couldn't care less about Vista (specifically or Microsoft in general). Technology advances. The broadcast system either adapts or it doesn't. I'm simply in favor of new technologies being explored and investigated. There has to be incentive, and that's what the FCC vote is about--giving incentive to those who want to explore new technologies (yes, for their own benefit, too). If the broadcast system wants to survive at all, then it's going to have to adapt. Of course, actually having something worth watching might help. "White spaces" won't kill broadcast TV, but the continued loss of viewers due to lack of content and over-commercialization certainly might. As it is now, broadcast TV is of no value at all to me.
