Honestly, he has a point. Much of the hype was badly misplaced - the constant

And the déjà vu all over again, where getting an ATSC 3.0 receiver is like 
pulling hens' teeth, for absolutely no reason (unless we postulate under the 
table payoffs). Just like last time around, were it not for the Michael Powell 
FCC, who did what anyone expecting results would have to do.
What were the results Bert?

1. Millions of people had to pay for a receiver they never used.
The government paid for my receiver, and I used it right away.

TTFN,
