Actually, Cliff, the opposite is the likely course. What's missing in your analysis is that broadcasters, once they turn off analog, get "renewal expectancy." Before, renewals under the law, was a hit or miss (admittedly, very few stations have ever had their renewal application denied.) Renewal expectancy makes it harder to deny a renewal. The content offered by this "umbilical" could change, though.
It is ALSO likely that they will get significantly increased localism requirements.
I'm sure that will help the bottom line. Regards Craig ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org
