Well, I hope free TV continues in the future!

Well, it is a rare concept: Broadcasting you don't pay for!

Let's see if it survives.

Likely it won't. The FCC is pushing for digital TV and radio, and will require
broadcasters to shut down their analog (free) channels soon.
What it means, is that with digital signals they can start ADDRESSING their
siganls. No pay-no TV. And that means big brother will know what you're
watching because they know what you're paying for.

But take it a step further. You're a Democrat or a liberal, or an
arch-conservative, you may be BLOCKED from watching certain shows, or even
worse, the content is EDITED to suit your particular tastes. Of course, they
can also manipulate you.

Pretty scary huh?

Why do you think the government is funding PBS/CPB/NPR? Wait until they need
to control content. It'll be interesting.

In a really weird way, ANALOG IS FREEDOM!
