Yeah, all we need is a future presidential candidate to buy up a few tv
networks and most of the commercial stations, then merge them into a grand
enterprise with state-controlled media after taking office.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the part where the entrepreneur cum leader finances
his rise to commercial and political success, then uses government handouts
to pay off his henchmen.

Dale points out the cultural differences between U.S. broadcasting and the
rest of the world, and says that the differences are too great for others to
change us.  You use that as Dale suggesting that we might try this system.
What a prince!

Let me know when the FCC or NTIA gives money to commercial TV stations,
because we will have lost the freedom to fail in the U.S.

Rai Way, the corporation that builds the OTA infrastructure in Italy,
has planned out a 145M Euro program to achieve 85 percent DTT coverage
of the territory.

Today, they received 33M Euro for 2007, for Phase I, from the Ministry
of Communications. Overall, they will be receiving 120M Euro for the
2007-2009 period.

Apparently, parts of the Northeast, East coast, and South of the country
have sparse DTT access now.

(Not saying that's a better way. Just pointing out why there might be
different solutions here and there. As Dale has suggested already.)
