8VSB appears totally unshakable at the moment. Whether its days are
number will probably only be known after the ultimate test of whether it
works when anybody actually has to use it. After NTSC turn-off it
should become very obvious whether it can stand up and compete with
other technologies. Who know? Maybe it really can.
But that is one reason I would really like to see the transition
complete, even if unsuccessfully. Then we would (if needed) have to
actually do something about it.
Or just let everyone switch to mobile broadband. (which will NOT be some
pay per minute flavor)
