Right. Let's build those condos on the Grand Canyon.
After all is said and done, it looks like John Shutt may have been right all
along.
Way back at the start of the digital transition, we were arguing about what
some FCC order or other was trying to get across, and John said that there was
nothing in that FCC order that required broadcasters to continue transmitting
even just the primary TV stream on their allocated frequency channel, AFTER the
transition was finished. They could do something totally non-TV with their
spectrum, as the order was worded.
Hmmm. How very prescient. I'm impressed.
