Re: I don't understand Comcast's new digital TV world

Before this becomes a post about economic theory. Digital broadcasting has been available since the mid-90s and actually became popular in the mid-2000s. While we can debate the government influence, I think any reasonable person on both sides of the political/economic spectrum would agree that this was a good 'push' the government made. The digital technology opens up our spectrum for advanced services like LTE, WiMax, WiBro (:P), which translates into better communication networks.

The consumers also get a much better quality picture and television that is frankly better for the environment. So yes the 'revolution' wasn't completely 'hand-based,' but not all progress is controlled by the economy.

Also, I think if you talk to anyone who made the jump before the mandated shutdown of analog would agree that they would NEVER go back to the old times.

Also in the plus column, , the government made a ton of money auctioning off those analog bands.
