And EVEN in that example, successful as it might be,
does not measure up to what the NAB would want
before they declare success.

Have 85 percent of OTA users, or 85 percent of
*all* Brit TV viewers, bought an integrated DTV
set or a DTV STB of some sort? Will they have by
2012? The answer I believe is no.

Check out Berlin again. With some 90+ percent of
TV viewers using cable, just what percentage of
those cable users are digital?

So even in Berlin, with a "successful" DTT
transition, they would not have met the NAB's
criterion.
