	 IMHO, the future of broadcasting is on-line, strictly pay TV,
or some

	 For *ME* it doesn't much matter.
	 Since I'm a project engineer, building studios, stacking steel,
tuning DA's,
	 hanging bat-wings, and the like, *I* will still have the same
work I've
	 always had ! ( OK, maybe AM DA's will go away )
	
	 There will still be "radio" studios. There will still be
"evening news" sets.
	 There will still be GMA studios, but none of these will be
feeding
	 terrestrial transmitters.

broadcast
	 studios feeding them.
	
	 As a project engineer, all of the things I've been doing for
the
	 past 30+ years will still need doing.
	 Today's "broadcast engineer" be he/she radio or TV, I'm
	 not so sure ! Methinks that's most of YOU !
	
	 Sure, there's been a distinct lack of project work the last two
or
	 three years, except for the 2 gig Sprint thing, and HD TV, both
	 of which are aimed at dismantling conventional broadcast and
	 taking away spectrum, but that'll change.
	 Someone will have to build the private industry "broadband"
into
	 the former broadcast spectrum, so I *will* have work.
	
	 OK, off-topic. I'll shut up and sit down now.
