The CEA is petitioning to have terrestrial TV refarmed to free up some

Though I liked Clinton/Gore, the HDTV plan was boned headed beyond belief. They
should have never allowed HDTV in VHF, but stationed wanted parity with their
analog status.
We have one HDTV station with a dozen channels. It is so multiplexed it doesn't
even look like SDTV.
Trust me, I could rant on for pages on this.
But have you gone SFN? That would compact the frequency needs such that
LTE style broadband could be done in UHF instead of breaking up the GPS
signal. SFN requires sufficiently good timing... but last time I looked
at the ATSC SFN spec they got the fundamentals completely wrong, doable
but overspeced due to the missunderstandings.
