It has been my conviction for the longest time that your postings are of
little intelligence or merit. I do not see them since yours and those of
one other gentleman gets filtered and sent directly to my delete list.
However examples like the above 'drivel' does get through from time to
time. While I don't see eye to eye with Manfredi and MacDonald they do
pose valid technical questions open to debate and worthy of my time and
effort to read. Wish you could follow their example.
Free to air spectrum for broadcast is a legacy issue that requires the
broadcaster to devote at least some programming to public service even while
making profit on other ventures. That decision is not unilateral, it is
mandated by law as a condition of licence (in Canada at least). The worst
abuse of that principle is the obscene amount of money spent on elections
and the amount spent on broadcast political propaganda. Devoting a digital
multiplex channel for that purpose and serious emergencies would be in the
Public Interest. That should be legislated and changed. Broadcasters can
and should make use of their legacy spectrum to adapt to new modes of
operation with digital technology including portable and mobile critical to
emergency planning of natural or terrorist actions. What is best for
business is not irrelevent. Neither is what is best for the public.
Tell me with a straight face that 8VSB meets the above criteria ? I will
check my delete list for your answer.
Regards, Nick
