Taiwan has what, five dtv transmitters?  There are almost that many in
Tijuana today.

 

You set the bar low for things you favor, and set it high for things you
oppose.  That is pure, intellectual dishonesty.

There is no magical correct period of time after a modulation and codec
decision is made during which it is not possible logically to consider
scrapping them and starting over. 

Taiwan did it soon after picking 8-VSB. 

It could be a month, a year, ten years or a century. 

There is no period of mourning or the wearing of black or a period in which
to write off or work off the bad investment. 

At any point after the original decision it is possible that a rational look
at the situation would dictate a change, all things considered. 

I submit that at any moment since the decision to use 8-VSB and MPEG2 it was
rational and logical to consider scrapping them both. I believe that the
arguments to do so have only increased minute by minute since then and will
continue to do so.
