IS THE FCC GOING TO CHANGE THE NEXT GEN TV RULES TO WEAKEN THE "LPTV ADVANTAGE"?
AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEXT GEN TV RULES WAS THAT LPTV COULD FLASH CUT WITHOUT PROVIDING A 1.0 SIMULCAST. AND FOR 2 YRS WE HAD SOMETHING THE PRIMARY FULL POWERS DID NOT, ENOUGH SPECTRUM COVERAGE AND DENSITY TO CREATE A WHOLE BIT DELIVERY MARKETSPACE
FOR TWO YEARS NOW NOT HAVING MUST CARRY CABLE RIGHTS HAS BEEN A GOOD THING, A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, AND ONE WHICH SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS COULD START TO PLAN FOR.
BUT NOW?.....
IF THE FCC ALLOWS ANY AND ALL PRIMARY TV STATIONS TO WAIVER OUT OF THE MANDATORY 1.0 AND 3.0 SIMULCASTS, THIS ELIMINATES A FIRST MOVER LPTV NEXT GEN TV MODEL, BEING OF SERVICE TO THE PRIMARIES FOR 3.0 COVERAGE
TAKE THIS AWAY AND WE MAY AS WELL GO WORK WITH MICROSOFT AND OFFER OURSELVES UP FOR ANOTHER INCENTIVE AUCTION
IF THE FCC TAKES AWAY OUR NEXT GEN TV BUSINESS MODEL ADVANTAGE, JUST WHAT DOES CONGRESS AND THE FCC WANT FROM US?
IS EAS ALL THERE IS?
ARE WE REALLY FREE TO EXPERIMENT?
MAY WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE TV WHITE SPACE MARKET, AND GET WAIVERS?
HOW DO WE TASTE SOME OF THOSE RURAL BROADBAND FUNDS BEING OFFERED UP?
LET US BE PART OF THE RURAL & URBAN BROADBAND SOLUTION, WHATEVER IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE TODAY AND TOMORROW NEEDED IN THESE LOCAL COMMUNITIES
FLEXIBLE USE, YES!
