I beg to differ since H.264 was not usable until after A/90 was published,
but I note you made the same general conclusion shortly after A/90 was
published.  There are few technical holdups in communications:  for a
century, they've almost always been IP holdups.

ATSC has had the capability of transmitting HD using H.264
ever since A/90 was first published. It's been several
years. The holdup hasn't been a technical problem at all.
