NEXT GEN ATSC 3.0 SUPER DUPER TV STANDARD NPRM COMMENTS RANT
BANKSY
LPTV ATTACKED IN NEXTGEN COMMENTS
SUBMITTED BY MVPD
FCC NPRM PROMOTES A RE-REGULATION OF LPTV RULES TO FORCE STATIONS TO BUILD A "SIMULCAST" MODEL WHICH WILL COLLECTIVELY COST INDUSTRY $100'S OF MILLIONS AND STALL NEXT GEN LPTV INVESTMENTS!
"THIS AIN'T THE FREE MARKET TOTO, BUT JUST ANOTHER ECONOMIC RIGGING FOR THE MSM"
CABLE MVPD GROUPS ATTACK THE CONCEPT OF AN LPTV "FLASH CUT" TO NEXT GEN - FORGET THAT <50 STATIONS HAVE MUST CARRY, WHILE 1000's DO NOT!
COALITION COMMENTS DEMAND FROM THE FCC THAT NO NEXT GEN "DOUBLE BUILD" BE FORCED ON OUR INDUSTRY WHICH STILL HAS TO PAY $100's OF MILLIONS IN RELO COSTS!
AND WHY IS THE FCC SO SUDDENLY CONCERNED WITH LPTV 1.0 VIEWERS, WHEN FOR 5+ YEARS THEY WOULD NOT STUDY THE IMPACTS TO THEM FROM THE AUCTION?
Despite the FCC being under a Denial of Service attack from net neutrality activists, the communications industry found the time to submit over 150 Next Gen ATSC 3.0 comments. And some of them directly attack an "LPTV flash cut" to the new standard. Here is a listing of all of the comments for easy reference:
WE HAVE JUST COMPLETED THE FIRST TWO DMA STUDIES AND ALMOST HAVE DONE THE PHASE IMPACTS ANALYSES. SO NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO ORDER THAT ALMOST FINAL DMA CONFIGURATION MODEL YOU NEED TO START PLANNING FOR YOUR DISPLACEMENT MOVES. REMEMBER, IF A CP SURVIVED THE AUCTION, AND SURVIVES THE PRIMARIES REPACK, THEN THAT CP IS
NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE LPTV DISPLACEMENT WINDOW.
