I can not/will not speak for all Broadcasters (unlike the President who presumes he can speak for all of us...)...
SOME Broadcasters may still be stuck, but that will begin to change with Mobile DTV out of necessity.
SOME Broadcasters will be delivering content 'files' very much under our control if the FCC does not cut us off at the hips because they happen to think that the wireless carriers are out to help us all out. (separate posting to follow...)

They still think linear and haven't a clue how to use their spectrum to deliver files instead of appointment TV.Regards Craig ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
