In it they described how the unused guard channels for UHF stations (most, if not all PBS stations fit in here) could be used for low power digital signal transmissions. Clearly they could become Internet providers, or at least work with Internet providers to generate income and help them become independent of federal funding. By the way, they would also be competing with some of Newts backers like AT&T, who want to do it but can't figure out how. Maybe a plan by CPB showing how their funds would be used to prepare for this could sway Newt to reconsider pulling their funding. Tice
