See that's the one good thing about the Y2K problem. you cannot delay the year 2000. with DTV there's no real way to make a 'hard date' and people keep petitioning to keep analog going. some of their reasons make sense but still....

all joking aside, it's wasting natural resources to postpone again (and this coming from a 16 MPG SUV owner).

Power bills for analog transmitters run up in the 20,000+ range per month. For PBS, it's tough to keep up with in this economy.

There we go, that's the main idea. Had this transition been better organized, we wouldn't be wasting additional resources. On to former FCC Chairmen Kevin Martin, take a glance at this CAPITAL CURRENTS: Unethical behavior in Kevin Martin?s FCC

Quote:
By the time you read this, Kevin Martin will no longer be FCC chairman, and we can all say good riddance. Late in his term, the Congress investigated reports of corruption and deceit at the agency. The result was a report full of name-calling – just like the FCC’s report of Comcast’s cable modem behavior – but no evidence of illegal activities. Martin and his staff created distrust, suspicion, fear and turmoil at the agency. Important FCC matters were handled secretly, rather Jeffrey Kraussthan openly and transparently. And he and his staff’s manipulation of the second “a la carte” report undermined the integrity of the career professional staff at the agency. Perhaps not illegal, but smelly. And certainly unethical.
