You forget the circumstances. The USA was embroiled in an unjust war
that was costing far more money than bad-at-math Republicans had
calculated. Revenue from the oil fields that they had expected to
seize never materialized. They wanted to cut taxes for the rich even
more than they already had. So they had to RAISE MONEY FAST. They
decided that auctioning off public property in perpetuity to private
interests was the best way to do it. It would net them $Bs.THEY WERE
IN A HURRY. They fudged the testing. They fudged the statistics. They
under-funded the transition. They made empty promises. But dammit THEY
GOT THE MONEY (or at least some of it).

Sure looks like the people who did the survey found an area with
good reception and asked those folks. The hell with the rest of us
who have almost nothing now. Of course the National Association of
Broadcasters would say good things about DTV. DUH.
