I can also agree with this. But this comment is incompatible with your previous
comment, that broadcasters could have played in this game.
For a wireless ISP (WISP) to use or not use some of its spectrum in
multicast/broadcast mode, during those special times when it makes sense to do
so, makes perfect sense. But to think that broadcasters can go 100 percent of
the time to such an LTE mode, to replace their current OTA service, does not
make sense. On many levels.
Unless broadcasters become full-fledged wireless ISPs in their own right, it
seems far more believable that the LTE multicast/broadcast service they might
use, to satisfy mobile users during sporting events, will belong to wireless
telcos.
