Barry says: "The best example you can have on this point
is probably television: in many places 85% or
more use cable or satellite. The FCC is looking
to take some of that bandwidth back. The TV
industry doesn't want to give anything up - even
if no one is watching."
Harold says: Please understand that TV consists of more
than a "metro" wired area. All TV has a DMA
area that is usually not accessible from a wired
to the cable headend feed. That has to get there
somehow. We use VHF and UHF to do that!!
It also seems to feed the TV set just fine with
usually a simple external device such as an antenna.
So even "if" no one's watching, they really are.
