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?
