Let us not try and make this a regulatory or policy issue what with theorizing the pros and cons. Incumbent broadcasters are about to be stuck with millions worth of obsolete equipment and a cartel that will be worthless soon enough. it is this investment that they are fighting to maintain a stranglehold on the industry. 

Its a commercial issue plain and simple. I would be amused if the CCK was to hold its ground and find other stations to fill the incumbents shoes. Nobody is indispensable.

Listers,
In my view, digital migration is "Free to air". A consumer should therefore not be required to join any subscription  service in order to migrate.
