This is a quote from that 1997 paper: "Digital broadcasting sounds great to congress, but is the general public going to go for it immediately?" Apparently the answer was yes because we didn't anticipate the drop in price of digital TV sets.

5. On Friday, March 25 2011, 19:12 by re_nelson: This needs to be read by every single commissioner on the FCC. Of course, for it to have any impact in today's world, be sure to include a briefcase stuffed with unmarked bills.

It is in the maximum public interest for all Americans and broadcasters to vigorously resist this FCC's scheme to sell away our valued public resource.
