CRAP, CRAP, CRAP...nothing but CRAP. COFDM was about ensuring that our emitted signals could be recepted! It was about more than one business model! It was about remaining competitive. (We were quite willing to take existing planning factors BTW!) 


Who has been continuing to drive ATSC? Sinclair (among a few others..)!

Bert, it was NEVER about delay, quite the opposite.

COFDM was a delaying tactic.
Judging from what's been happening since 2002, saying that the switch to COFDM was just a delaying tactic sounds ever more plausible. Depending who was doing the asking. Clearly, the industry as a whole seems to be dragging their feet any way they can, when it comes to FOTA TV. Whether that was to spend another couple of years redoing the planning factors for COFDM, or whether that was keeping the ATSC innovations strictly hidden away from consumers.
