They come up with the DTV standard and not long after the DTV doomsday, they start hawking 3D TVs...ATSC can't transmit 3D pictures so it is already it's self obsolete! They could have kept NTSC or made ATSC backwards compatible with NTSC, and today's broadcast standard would have been no less obsolete than it currently is.
Reminds me of a line from Family Guy(this series has made me mad more often than laugh for the last few years). The news anchor says 'Were now broadcasting in HD...Coming up next the thing that will make it obsolete'.
