I think it *is* working. The correct answer was supposed to be "yes,"
when Barry was asked about buying the local into local service. The
waiver only counts when DBS doesn't have LIL service for a market.
That's what I was wondering the other day. Why does EchoStar continue to
offer networks from NYC, if they have spectrum available for local into
local? Evidently, there are folks like Barry who don't want local
broadcaster content at all. And that's exactly what the problem is, from
the local broadcasters' point of view.
