New Digital TV Rules Draw Fight
*The fight is due to the transition to digital broadcasting, which will be standard in most areas by 2006. A digital signal can carry more information than the current analog transmissions without using any more space on the broadcast spectrum.
While some stations may use their digital signals for larger and sharper high-definition broadcasts, others may use the spectrum to air to up to six channels.*
