USDTV: Low Cost, Little Interest

service: small set of cable channels for low price

technology: compressed digital video (h.264) transmitted over terrestrial TV channels using the spare capacity on local TV stations' digital carriers

similar predecessors: "wireless cable" (aka MMDS) offerings by telcos in the mid-90's, based on re-use of community/educational TV spectrum for MPEG-2 signals.

outcome: Chapter 7.
