Analog and digital TV channels on cable -- why?

[6GH8cowboy]

The wireless bandwidth for all the new toys we are encouraged to buy has to come from somewhere. Here's something to consider. All digital information is "addressable", or can be and someone can determine at will who will get what, when and where in a time of crissis, spoon fed to the masses, if you will. I prefer to get what I feel is the best info on my own and goven myself accordinly. If AM radio goes away we could be screw'd. I rememder the media saying dammage after Andrew wasn't too bad.... untill the sun came up, Remember Katrina? More recently the Costa ship with "it's just an electrical problem".. untill it listed and sank.
I,ve met people, that are astounded that there is free tv in the air that dosn't need a data plan, dish, or cable bill to get, it's the culture of our time. I don't want to seen like an alarmist, but we are becoming a society of information haves and have nots and its becoming clear that more and more control is being placed on all aspects of broadcasting and our access to information.
