Walk For Liberty Day 187 - Why Is the Federal Government Deciding When To Switch To Digital TV?
November 10th 2008, day 187 / First snow, and Jake likes it! / Interviewed by Erie CBS affiliate WSEE-TV / Snow scenes / Ron Paul signs / Filming a GE refinery to see if I get a response / Is your TV ready for digital? The government says it needs to be! / What business does the govt have telling stations what format to broadcast in? / Many stations are still broadcasting in analog because they think they are getting a return on their money / Some markets might not even be ready for digital, except for the fact that the FedGov is subsidizing people to switch at taxpayer expense / Business decisions should be left up to companies, not the govt / Some might choose just digital, just analog, or both / FedGov claiming to own the airwaves because they are supposedly a “scarce resource”, when they’re really not / FedGov stifling innovation that would have made their measures unnecessary / Get the govt and FCC out of the broadcast industry / People who saw me on the news and offering to help! / 17.51 miles for liberty / http://amazon.walkforliberty.com / Jake running in snow

The GE plant was not a refinery it was a manufacturing plant that makes diesel locomotives.

After months of daily “reminders” to get your digital converter box, the local station admitted that about half their viewing area will not be going digital. They are low power and have a few more years grace period.
