Some day, maybe even sooner than we may "fantasize", possession of such device may become illigal for "general public".

...because all-digital broadcasting will free up frequencies for public safety communications (such as police, fire, and emergency rescue).

Yep, "the safety" is comming to your,... and your and ,... yes, even to your, neighbourhood. Nobody will escape the "rescue"

Frequencies for Them and The Database for Us, that is.

Great Mike.

digital is a more efficient transmission technology that allows broadcast stations to offer improved picture and sound quality

OK, some of us may not be in agreement to that. More efficient maybe but not particularly "improved" sound or picture.
