I've heard of proposals to eliminate OTA TV.
For me,that would be a major bummer;no cable and 48K dialup net service,and
TracFone prepaid cell service.
Also,what happens in power outages or natural disasters? At least now,I can
use a battery powered TV,generator,or an inverter/battery.
Cable and cellphones didn't work after Hurricane Charlie in 2004.

The FEDS would auction off the freed bandwidth...more money for them to
blow on socialist schemes.

Maybe you could get something on the internet. However, that
connection may be down.

When we had a storm 16 months ago, the electricity was off for 73
hours. The backup batteries on the cable node (I have cable internet)
lasted 4 hours. It was another 24 hours before they put a generator on
the cable node. I'm glad I don't have (cable company) Phone.
