A letter to the new FCC chair

[Commentary] Hazlett wants new Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski to end television broadcasting. "Funny thing is, the stations don't care about broadcasting their signals anymore, either. That's expensive and wastes fossil-fuel generated electricity. Bad for the environment and it pollutes the most beautiful radio spectrum on God's Green Earth." He believes that for a $3 billion investment, the nation would get back 208 MHz (35 channels) of TV Band spectrum - prime, pristine bandwidth free and clear of broadcasters and wireless microphones. For the 10 million US homes that are not hooked up to cable or satellite, Hazlett suggests investing $3 billion to install free satellite dish on their roof or plug a local cable connection into their TV, and deliver all those households their "broadcast TV" at no charge.
