As if there is an installed fleet of receivers of any kind. This country
is still a white sheet of paper. Anyone considering a service here can
ignore the installed base as insignificant. A service started now and
successful could actually become the default with a low walled garden.
All receivers would then have to conform to the default. That is the way
it should be anyway. And another reason why the FCC should have let the
market decide between COFDM and 8-VSB. They should have allowed both. In
a reversal the good penny would drive the bad penny out.
