Yup! The stalling tactics worked. Now Broadcasters face the dilemma of working together to create a viable business model to replace the one that is failing. There was remarkable evidence of this at NAB. In the end, the reality that the current big stick approach can be made to work is irrelevant. Broadcasters will need to use their spectrum much more efficiently to compete in the future. They will need to work together to transform the business model. And they will need new partners who can create content (or they will need to create more content themselves), as the traditional content oligopoly does not need broadcasters to reach the masses and prosper.
