until cars start coming with internet-only radios
I can't figure out if this is interesting or not. Assuming it's not a
violation of my ISP's TOS (not at all clear), just what sort of files
am I supposed to want to share with the world? Why would I want to use
my own bandwidth to do it?

He must not read this list, because I posted a very thorough
explanation of this one or two years ago.

I've been evaluating one for a couple months now and have come to hate
it. But then, at $60/5 years, you have to figure you get what you pay
for. I'm ready to go back to any kind of regular VOIP at this point. I

There are no citizens fighting to use white space; only other

minimize interference.
If you feel both the FCC and the NAB are out to screw you, then
there's really not much we can discuss. We'll just have to agree to
disagree.

The FCC is currently accepting requests for TV repeater licenses, yes.
The application procedure is not easy, as the station must prove the
new repeater will only restore their old coverage area, and will not
expand it. This takes voluminous engineering reports, and would have
been very difficult t
It *was* broke, now it's fixed. For a while, anyway. You wouldn't
really consider driving a 1940 model car today, would you? Your 'fire'
analogy is a really bad one because DTV is a set of standards, not a

Assuming this isn't a rhetorical question, I'll answer it.
The old system - designed in the 1930's, ratified in 1940, is

broadcast a single format signal. DTV not only saves bandwidth, it can
carry many different formats. It's a
