Again you show you bias! How wonder to see it.
How would Southwest airlines help me (or rather would have
helped me) by flying out of Texas from Love field? (I'm a
Texan, from Fort Worth, who used to visit there twice a year.)
HOW HOW??? You see, Southwest has an essentially useless
network of flights. It only flies from certain places,
to other certain places. It does not fly to where I live.
How can that help?
It's exactly like all you silly schemes: they are designed
to benefit only a tiny fraction of this huge country: the
very absolutely biggest cities.
In fact, I would suggest that any entity that uses spectrum
freed up from TV broadcasting be required by law to cover
the same coverage area as the TV stations that vacated
the spectrum.
