Delaying the transition will cost them all even more in terms of schedule slippage with tower contractors, engineers, leasing tower space for both systems, and the like. At least the new Senate bill attempts to resolve that issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-39820755753271409762009-01-30T22:33:00.000-08:002009-01-30T22:33:00.000-08:00Oh, I see your point.

We're talking about delaying something for a couple of months, or not. Silver platter? Rights? Blithering much? Really, it's close to embarrassing to think I attract readers like this. <BR/><BR/>Obama? Pandering? What bullshit! The <I><B>entire fricking Senate</B></I> voted for the delay, every last one of them. My question was what's different about House Republicans; why is such a thing a party line issue? If your screed is right, what about the Senate? <BR/><BR/>But your screed is not right. It's, once again, totally off point and a completely illogical response to my post.

Even though I disagree with government mandating things like that, the fact is, they did, and it was WELL announced for years before this. Shame on Obama for pandering to people's desire to avoid any consequence for their mistakes (or procrastination).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-8430769919626567602009-01-30T15:50:00.000-08:002009-01-30T15:50:00.000-08:00Because I Want Digital M-TV Dammit!!!
