NAC post: saving local news with thin air
A couple weeks ago, I was reveling in free over-the-air Olympic coverage. Crystal clear picture & sound for the low, low price of $0 a month. Fantastic. The weird thing is, after decades of watching crappy broadcast TV, Americans suddenly have great, free HD – and nobody uses it. And now that the Olympics are over, neither do I. Whether you realize it or not, this is incredibly wasteful. Air, or radio wave spectrum, is quite valuable. So, I wrote a little article for Next American City about how I think our air should be reclaimed. Check it out and, you know, write a letter to your congressman or the FCC. Or leave me a comment. Whatever is easiest…
