It is, of course, a DUMB choice. And now the penalty is being paid, far h=
igher than any supposed 3dB or Peak-to-average ratio: the decay, decline =
and ultimately demise of OTA broadcasting as a mass market free digital p=
roposition. Despite John Willkies usual tirades the bottom line is that A=
TSC is a niche irrelevance. OTA DTV might have been bailed out by COFDM b=
ut what's really missing is interesting business models and the competito=
rs are circling like vultures..
And nothing has really changed since 2000, sad to say. Of course in other=
countries they are either getting it right or learning nicely from other=
peoples mistakes.
Kind Regards,
Dermot Nolan

The coverage criteria was based on the same old story - =
market-into-market interference. It had almost nothing to do with =
equaling NTSC coverage, other than the reality that you still have to =
protect for interference into neighboring markets.
