You're correct, and I've read that the FCC has been toying with the idea of allocating the analog spectrum for such things as wireless high speed internet once every station is fully DTV enabled.

Interestingly enough, there is quite a fight to get a DTV tower up in Denver, Colorado, by a group formed by all the TV stations in Denver. Instead of one tower per station as it is now, they all plan on having their DTV antenna's on one tower. But, of course, and environmentalist group is preventing that from happening.

The anti-fried-bird lobby?

"nstead of one tower per station as it is now, they all plan on having their DTV antenna's on one tower. But, of course, and environmentalist group is preventing that from happening."

That means the some people will get all of the stations and other will get none of them. It also means one terroist strike or power outage will take out all of the stations. That is a very bad ideal. It should not be allowed.
