Whose goal was this Bert?

The broadcasters did not (and most still do not) want a fixed end date.

The FCC set a fixed end date of nine years; the broadcasters killed than within three months.

The politicians set a new date because they need the money from the spectrum auctions...but they are notorious for changing their minds.

Lets talk in 2009...
