If I believed in conspiracy theories, I'd say that "some govt agency" is in the
pocket of the MVPDs. The VHF 14-15 dB power cut blunder and the caps that apply
to broadcasters but not to MVPDs being just part of the master plan.
The broadcasters should put on a super magnanimous act, and "offer back"
Channels 2-13 for cell phone service. For nothing. Imagine all the good will
that would generate at the FCC.

MAA - Bert, I did part of that 3 weeks ago (I offered up lo-VHF) in a meeting
with the FCC. In meeting with the BBTF (Broad Band Task Force) I stated that
the long range of lo-VHF would be ideal for the wireless guys... ;-)
