That OTA DTV is no more newsworthy, no more viable, not better than NTSC which has been in a death spiral for years. This while OTA DTV is enjoying robust growth in many other countries. So why not just declare free OTA dead and let the spectrum be auctioned off. Trust me the buyers will not use 8-VSB for anything on their newly acquired spectrum.
