And more. If you aren't concerned about providing the most efficient delivery 
of *broadcast* content (meaning, that content that millions of people want, 
perhaps even want simultaneously), you can also have the broadcasters drive 
trucks to deliver DVDs to individual homes. And use absolutely no RF spectrum 
at all.
 
It's very easy to come up with more difficult ways of doing things, Craig.
