FCC Proposing TV Spectrum Auction - 2010-02-24 17:07:34 | Broadcasting & Cable
First they took channels 70-83, then they took 52-69. Still they want more of the free TV spectrum.
Sounds like the cable and satellite companies are salivating over all the people who may, at some future point, lose free over-the-air TV because for-profit broadband and wireless companies want the free TV spectrum for their subscription-based services.
Everyone wins -- cable and satellite providers, wireless mobile and broadband providers -- except the consumer who can't/won't pay for local television programming.
