This isn't about traditional analog broadcasting.  It's about wireless 
networks.  It isn't about Internet access.  It's about neighborhood 
intranets.  $80 buys a Nanostation2 that creates a wireless cloud over a 
large area, everybody has Ekiga videoconferencing capability, and voila, 
there should be community wide local tv shows.  Right?  Is the equipment 
too expensive for setting that up?
