The untethered models that already exist today are FOTA and FOTI. Guess
what, Craig. You can opt for these immediately.
Did you see what Bob posted today on TV in Spain? Can you make a
connection? If consumers catch on to untethered, a shift in that
direction could also happen here. Broadcasters, congloms, and trade
journal scribes, have to get a clue, though.
You keep stubbornly sticking to your 15 percent half-truth, without
getting your head out of the sand (to be polite) long enough to see the
horizon.

that will enable the transition to all-digital networks and will be
delivered over the next three years."
