Getting Over TV
Bob Frankston wants television to get out of the way of the Internet.
One-way over-the-air broadcast is more than just a waste of time and effort. It perpetuates a disconnected underclass which can only watch TV but not participate. It undermines the goals of universal [service] and emphasizes the degree to which Congress seems to be unable to understand that bits are bits and TV bits are not special.
I think you have to read the whole thing to get the impact of what he is saying.
