A massive, nationwide infrastructure already exists for wireless television.
That infrastructure was completely retooled in the last few years at the behest
of the federal government. It’s now been live for 140 days.

The FCC is now fully engaged in killing off broadcast
television, deploying its bureaucrats to get a feel for who might want to give
up their spectrum license for a cut of auction proceeds. This might not wash
with the guys on the NAB board, who are actual broadcasters (as if John McCain
would ever let it happen).
Debt holders are another story. Broadcast bankers might like the idea of a cash
payout for spectrum, and Washington clearly has no problem giving money to
banks.

There should not be one single life-form in the known universe who remains
unaware that mobile television can be had for free.

Advertisers have a long and hallowed history of caterwauling. Outlawing it seems a
bit communist, or at the very least, ridiculous.

Football depend mostly on ticket sales, and
ticket sales depend on people who have jobs to pay for them. There are fewer
such folks around these days. Ticket sales are down. As many as 10 teams aren’t
sold out, meaning more local broadcast black-outs, meaning less revenue for
local affiliates.
