I did say network, right :-) On that note, I was very sad to hear last Friday
about the demise of Sinclair's News Central due to (I was told by a
non-Sinclair fellow) current economic realities.
Your equation begs the question, since the FCC tabled consideration of COFDM
until the DTV transition is further along (to be truthful, they might have
meant 'never.')
I see that liberal 'babe' Joan Claybrook's Public Citizen has filed a lawsuit
on the recent budget "compromise" that appears to be unconstitutional and which
also sets the analog sunset date in 2009. If successful, this suit will undo
what congress did.
That might create a political peg upon which to hang consideration of COFDM;
certainly the transition will be futher along in three years. What's the
proper "decent interval" to wait
