I read in Gramophone (classical recordings reviews) that an European
country (I believe it is Sweden, but I would have to check) was backing
off completely on a projected changeover to digital radio, stating that
it was not economically sound. The funny thing is that the economic
motives that work against the transition to digital radio are actually
even stronger in the case of digital television. It will not make the
number of channels considerably greater (yes you can use adjacent
channels, but so what), it will not save electrical power in practice, and
it will send tons of perfectly good transmitting and receiving equipment to
the dumpster. ARRRRRGH!...
