I don't see how we can blame the
FCC for a slow transition period. I can quote you a book on what I think they did wrong during the transition. Delaying to me wasn't one of the problems they caused. They did take forever to mandate the beginning of the change in 1996, and then kept delaying analog shut off.
But to me that was not them, but they were lobbied to cause all the delaying except the last delay, which is still a mystery, and even it can be linked to lobbyists.
The
FCC was there in full force maybe more so as a power enforcement division in the 1940-1960 era and the adding of UHF channels when very smooth.
I know what it was in my mind. It was a the change from just doing the right things that were morally correct and good for the whole country compared to now where everything is 100% market driven or forced by the government.
Less advertising throughout
