The FCC left it up to individual broadcasters to choose which standard to broadcast AM Stereo, usually between Motorola C-QAM and Kahn-Hazeltine dual sideband.
The FCC left it up to individual broadcasters to choose which standard to broadcast their DTV.
I ask you, is it in a broadcaster's best interest to deliberately choose a standard that cannot be received by their viewers? Therefore, Table 3, although rejected by the FCC, still controls which formats a broadcaster uses, and in all practicality, is left with four choices: 480i29.97, 480p59.94, 720p59.94, and 1080i29.97.
Broadcast stations being set up the way they are, I don't know of a single broadcaster using 24, 30, or 60 fps even though they are in the infamous "Table 3."
The marketplace does on occasion work when given a chance. That is why the Sinclair petition of 2000 was so dangerous.

So, either the ATSC has to do it, or the FCC changes its mind on that point. Because, IMO, it is unreasonable to leave the options wide open.
