I do not see any contradiction. HD is a niche market and will
continue to be such for years to come. That being said, however, I
see no reason why the Free OTA service cannot be a mix of both SD and
HD content, just as is the case for cable and DBS.
The DBS services will be offering local network HD within a few years
- Direct TV has already announced their deployment schedule. Cable is
moving rapidly to carry network HD content via local broadcast
affiliates - and they are doing this via negotiation, NOT
intimidation.
Where is the contradiction?
