Additional spectrum was for DTV, not (H)DTV. I seem to see that
broadcasters are using the spectrum loaned to them for the assigned
purpose -- current, past and future tense.

If it was not any of the broadcasters then who was it that first asked
for the additional spectrum for (H)DTV?
And in any event, if the broadcasters do not want it and do not like
paying the duplicate electric bills then why are they so determined to
hang on to the extra channels forever? If it is so bad then why
prolong the agony?
