You know how managers sound when they extoll the virtues of the
soon-to-be downsizing of a company's work force?
It look like the Chairman subscribes to cable, his kids never knew
FOTA TV broadcasting, and therefore it's time to move on. Or am I
oversimplifying?
Also, he seems to not appreciate why broadcasters are telling him
that sharing spectrum with another broadcaster will prevent them
from transmitting to mobile devices. He says, not true. Just both
broadcasters go ahead and transmit to mobile devices. (Oh, now I get
it.)
Not supporting the Chaiman here...
But.
The technology exists to "compress" the amount of spectrum used by
broadcasters, making all of the content that exists today available
to mobile devices.
It's just not the technology that broadcasters in the U.S. chose.
Whoops! Another myth.
Truth is that broadcasters allowed another industry to control their
standard, an industry that is now ready to throw them on the scrap
heap.

Craig
