OK, here goes. Mostly about this:
Quote:
So Echostar or DirecTv could buy up these right??
They could buy only in the markets where they have locals?
This could take the locals off the satellite??
They could broadcast all locals from one place??
Is this like a full power TV tower??
They could also provide data access??
How much would these go for??
Who else would be bidding??
Anywhere I can get a list of the 354 markets they talk about??
Would this be cheaper that going satellite route??
And for all you HDTV guys, would this free up space for additional HD channels??
I guess one big question would be, how long would it take to get functional??
Am I being stupid here on this stuff and way off??

The FCC also disclosed that MVDDS licensees would not be required to carry local TV stations but retransmission-consent rules would apply. The agency said it would reconsider its must-carry exclusion if DBS carriers used MVDDS licenses in a manner designed to bypass their must-carry obligations under the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act. |
