OTA TV Under Attack, Time to Fight Back

[Commentary] Free, universal, over-the air television: It's an extraordinary service whose roots plunge nine decades deep into American history. Yet, there are folks who believe that this service has absolutely no value. And what's frightening is that they now have the ear of the Federal Communications Commission. Google, Microsoft and other well-heeled high-tech companies are pushing hard to get FCC permission to unleash countless unlicensed wireless devices into the broadcast spectrum that could disrupt the over-the-air service and lead to its eventual demise. And that is apparently what they are trying to do. They don't want to share the broadcast spectrum as they are telling the FCC commissioners. They want it all.
