They don't have to kill analog channels for internet, as I understand it..... the reason to kill analog channels is that in the same frequency spectrum of 1 analog channel, they can place 2 or 3 (depending on compression, 1080 vs 720, etc) HD channels. So kill 5 analog channels, and they can expand their HD lineup with 10-15 channels.
When they do kill analog channels, they often cherry pick them from e.g. channel 55, 56, 57 and 59 or so and shuffle some other analog channels around, so that e.g they have a block from 55-60 free to use for their digital HD programming. That's a whole different part of the frequency spectrum then what Internet is using.
