Or, be able to consolidate all the OTA HD stations onto one carrier in each market, and then auction off another HUGE batch of TV spectrum to wireless carriers.I doubt the FCC will allow that to happen. I thought the main reason for ATSC 3 to exist was to improve OTA reception quality.
Right now, all there is are local stations being carried in their existing 1080i or 720p formats. Yipee!If subscription TV is what they intend to be the priority service(s), it will fail just like it did in the '80s. Streaming is the better place for that.
