Craig,

I bet if you add up all of the electricity used by the broadcasters in our market, then add up all the electricity for all of the cell towers in the same coverage area, the difference in electricity use would not be significant.



Good points John. But there is one more metric that is important here:

The number of users of the service as a function of kilowatt hour consumed.

Me thinks that the remaining TV laggards consume many more watts per hour than the hundreds of millions of cellular phone users.
