I would find it hard to believe that a series of small transmissions would
be less robust than one large transmission both physically and
electronically. But when looking at spectral efficiency, aren't the
problems the same, just on a smaller scale? And if every station was not
at every small transmitter sight, then my antenna would need a rotor; I
find that to be very negative.
I think the European (at least the German) model of RF management is
superior in many ways but it can't be compared to ours for many reasons.
They are much more social (in their government) while we hold to capitalism
and attempt to keep a free, open, and competitive market. And we have so
much more media/networks than Europeans.
It would be interesting to take one market in the US and convert it over to
study the benefits and problems with the smaller transmitter coverage. But
that would take a bunch of money.
