Technically it is a "taking" since our Analog TV's are loosing value / functionality.

If they didn't have the rebate program, it is strongly debatable that each individual affected could sue for damages under constitutional grounds.

By having the program, then it's your fault for not taking advantage....

And it's NOT income, it is compensation for a loss. Thus no taxes...

Did you see how MUCH money they made auctioning off the rights to use those frequency bands??? A BUNDLE...
