What law is that? The FCC is shutting down NTSC BROADCAST signals,

the push to go digital is so the FCC can auction off the spectrum now
occupied by digital and rake in billions.

Last line, "...occupied by analog and rake in billions".

Also, wouldn't NTSC just change its standard and use the same name.
Aren't DVDs (digital) and NTSC? (I realize they are not HD)

I believe the new standard is called ATSC or something like that (A for
advanced). DVDs are digital, but the normal DVDs have no relation to the
new broadcast standards.
