Steve,
Well, not sure about that. Who appoints the fcc commissioners and who
pushes for funding.
I do agree that it's all for the money. The administration is still
responsible for running all such projects either directly or indirectly.
Sure, congress is involved too and really shouldn't be totally let off
the hook.
How ever you cut it though, it's a big mess and I really don't see that
postponing digital implementation is really going to improve things at
this late date.
