And that would depend upon how many voters still care about using OTA.
And how many of those would be happy with instead a low priced lifeline
cable tier that came with their government assisted broadband
connection. I remember with Comcast in Jacksonville the lifeline tier
actually cost a negative $6 or so if you also were purchasing broadband.
Though I canceled my lifeline cable subscription here with Cox in
Gainesville after they did away with the broadband/lifeline discount.
Either way, in most places the voter happiness will depend more upon the
terms for lifeline cable, maybe with broadband, and probably with clear
QAM, no STB rental needed.
