I've been following this thread with interest and I was wondering what was
going to happen with the analog frequencies? But I think this has been
answered? I was kind of hoping once the networks left the analog air that
those frequencies would be free for private individuals to use a bit like
the way AM radio is becoming. I could see a flourishing underground backyard
low power analog TV broadcasting revolution in the making with the airwaves
literally given back to the people. With billions of analog TVs floating
around it's something that could last for decades. But will those
frequencies be open?
