The bottom line here is that the FCC, under pressure from the cable,

Rubbish.
Broadcasters have no one to blame but themselves. And this decision
is not going to change the reality that the broadcast service is just
an ornament needed to collect retrans consent fees for what is
supposed to be Free TV.
When broadcasters start to talk about using the spectrum to offer a
COMPETITIVE TV service we can talk about interference. Until that
day, it is my humble opinion that broadcasters are interfering with
the right of U.S. citizens to put OUR SPECTRUM to the best possible
use.
