I'm an analog cable subscriber and was hoping to upgrade to an HDTV this holiday season, and apparently I'm not alone. Before I buy-in, I've been considering the freedom that "going digital" should give me compared to the old analog world. The primary reason I haven't "upgraded" to digital cable up to this point comes down to TiVo, it and the freedom that devices like it that connect to an analog coax cable give me. Digital technology is supposed to deliver more, not less freedom, isn't it? It's not clear that upgrading to digital cable gives me the freedoms I'm used to.

We had heard rumblings a few weeks ago that the MPAA was trying to push the broadcast flag, yet again. More recently we heard some more details that the content industry is trying to win over some in the consumer electronics industry to push for the technology mandate that would cripple many home devices and limit fair use of legally obtained content by consumers and educators alike.

You may remember the last push of the broadcast flag was buried in the series-of-tubes Senate telecommunications bill that thankfully went nowhere. That version's language gave FCC the needed permission (which was lacking(PDF)) to instate the copy-protection scheme that would limit what you could do with over-the-air broadcast television.

This past spring and summer was all about broadband policy for Public Knowledge - we were consumed with the 700 MHz spectrum auction, Federal Trade Commission and Federal Communications Commission proceedings regarding net neutrality, and Congressional efforts to change the way the government defines broadband and gathers data about broadband deployment and adoption.

• The LA Times reports on the Senate Commerce Committee's hearing on the transition to digital television. Senators claimed that the public was dangerously uninformed on the issue, and that without a better education effort, the Senate could have "a disaster on our hands." Currently the FCC has only $5 million allocated for educating the public, and thus far the television industry and consumer electronics companies have yet to advertise new products for the digital transition.

• Reversing an earlier decision, Verizon agreed to bid in the 700 MHz spectrum auction under the conditions set by Chairman Martin's proposal. However, CNet wonders whether this concession will have any impact on consumers:
