said by DTVTransition :said by DaSneaky1D:What this delay doesn't seem to take into account is that HUGE amounts of money has already been spent to obtain the spectrum. Delaying the ability for Vz (or whoever else) to recoup those losses will cause further issues down the road.
I say delay it. We have bigger problems in this country then making everything all pretty on the big screen. If companies spent billions of dollars on this TV transition before a good majority of the people are aware, it's the companies own problem. If they spent money on this transition without knowing that a good percentage actually know what's going on and they and it gets delayed, they will be screwed, stuffed, and mounted.
We have bigger problems than a few oldsters who can't watch matlock.
