“Government leaders are motivated to switch to digital TV largely by economics. The sooner broadcasters switch to digital signals, the sooner they will be required to return billions of dollars’ worth of analog TV spectrum, which the government plans to auction off for other uses, probably wireless services. Some critics say the government is pushing a technology that consumers don’t really want.”
Is it all about copy-protection? Or is spying on digital technology a lot easier / more efficient than spying on analog technology? I like the idea about being fully digital as our opportunity for broader access and faster connectivity will result. Form your own opinion [LaTimes]
