Matt York says,

"All good points Jack, but you missed my point. We should be devoting 
some energy to altering this skewed video delivery system which you so 
accurately described. It should be easier and less expensive to move 
special interest video files around."

I'm not as convinced as Matt is that I missed his point.  Even if I 
agreed with his assumptions - namely, that there is some social benefit 
to moving large "special interest video files" around more easily and 
cheaper, a premise I challenge at its core - there is no persuasive 
reason for abondoning the radio spectrum (and analog transmission) for 
this purpose and burdening our wonderful network, which is already 
beginning to sag under the weight of large files through the WWW.
