ATSC 3.0: The future of broadcast TV spent another year stuck in neutral?

[ThaDood]

Ya know, it's things like this that I'm glad that I no longer work in broadcast television. C2C AM covered this subject last night, and there's various articles out there that talk about ATSC 3.0 coming. Well, here's one of them.  https://www.pcworld.com/article/2592581/atsc-3-0-another-year-stuck-in-neutral.html    One effect that is not mentioned is that the little-guy will be forced-out once again. One of the easiest, and affordable ways, to get into licensed broadcasting was LPTV. Many stations were on-air with old FCC certified, CATV gear. The big expenses were the antenna, the Heiliax cable, and paying for tower space. Even, cheaper than trying to start an LPFM station. ATSC 1.0 came and shut-out many analog LPTV stations, eventually. (Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, makes one wonder if that was part of the plan.) Well, I see that ATSC 3.0 will do that even further. Just my $0.02 worth here.
