I know from our own station how much more reluctant we are to lease bits to PBS National Datacast knowing that it comes out of our useful payload than we were in leasing vertical interval space in our NTSC which was wasted anyway. We would be equally reluctant to rob two 'normal' bits to transmit one 'mobile' bit to practically nobody. That is why I am fairly certain that A-VSB will fail in the marketplace no matter how well it may work.
Here, I'm going to call it like I see it. These people you refer to, are clowns without insight or vision. How many proposals and actual offers of working end to end systems serving a vast array of content have they being offered over the last 8 or so years? What are they doing now? Pfft. Cheers Kon
