Subject:   Broadcast Spectrum - Digital Age


The marketplace is the only place to pick winners and losers.
Competition makes the best technological decisions for the
consumer, not government. 

This gift of spectrum is the residue of an old industrial policy
invented by electronics companies and broadcasters to "beat the
Japanese" with an American version of "High Definition
Television":
$2000 TV sets so sports would look great on TV. Broadcasters now
don't think lots of Americans will pay that kind of money any
time soon. But they are fighting hard to double their spectrum
anyway, and use it for whatever they want: up to six more digital
TV channels, pay TV, cellular, paging, and the like.
