Congress through the FCC has always controlled spectrum allocation. Much of that spectrum has been stuck in a time warp from days long since past. Only congress can reassign the use of that spectrum which there is only one of. You can't make more. It is a national resource. It is high time that it caught up with current technology so it can be used with much higher efficiency and benefit many more people.
TV channel allocations were done in the late 1940's with late 40's technology in mind... A lot has changed since then... It is about time it caught up with current technology...
It is as simple as that.

Then why mandate change? If digital is better why not open the digital channels without getting rid of the analog?
I am not against the change. I am sure digital is better.
Why doesn't Congress mandate that everyone use at least DSL and get rid of dial-up?
