The FCC voted on this in 2001. All of this noise is about reversing
that decision, which is NOT going to happen.
You can be certain that the networks and big station groups are
talking to their Congress critters; not about the FCC vote, but
rather about legislation that MIGHT survive another court review on
the taking of property grounds that almost did in Must Carry in 1997.
The business model is obvious. Free multi-channel TV.
How to get there from here is the big problem.
